This work investigates the coordination compound [Zn(2,2-bpy)₃](BF₄)₂ as a catalyst for the molecular reduction of CO₂. The synthesis and characterization of the complex are reported, along with electrochemical studies conducted both in the presence and absence of CO₂. In the absence of CO₂, reduction of the 2,2′-bipyridine ligands was observed (Epa(I) = −1.84 V vs. Fc/Fc⁺ and Epa(II) = −2.18 V vs. Fc/Fc⁺). In contrast, under a CO₂ atmosphere, catalytic molecular activity toward CO₂ reduction was detected (Epk(I) = −1.90 V vs. Fc/Fc⁺ and Epk(II) = −2.18 V vs. Fc/Fc⁺). Foot of the wave analysis (FOWA) was employed to determine the catalytic rate constant (k = 1.352 × 10³ M⁻¹ s⁻¹) for CO₂ reduction. Spectroelectrochemical experiments were also carried out in both the presence and absence of CO₂. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to understand the interaction of the complex with CO₂. Bulk electrolysis and FTIR analysis suggest that oxalate is the product of the CO₂ reduction.
