Abstract

A multi-component coordination compound, in which ruthenium antenna complexes are connected to a polyoxotungstate core is presented. This hybrid cluster effectively promotes the electrochemical conversion of CO₂ to C1 feedstocks, the selectivity of which can be controlled by the acidity of the media.
