A synthetic procedure for the selective preparation (ca. 75% isolated yield) of trans(Cl)- and cis(Cl)-[Ru(bpy)(CO)(2)Cl-2] complexes 1 and 2, using an oligomeric [Ru(CO)(2)Cl-2](n) precursor, is described. The synthetic methodology also gives access to the cis(CO)-[Ru(bpy)(CO)(2)(C(O)OMe)Cl] complex 3. In contrast to 1, which gives strongly adherent polymeric [Ru(bpy)(CO)(2)](n) molecular films, electrochemical reduction of 2 and 3 forms dimers 5 and 6 by a one-electron reduction process accompanied by loss of a chloro ligand. Complexes 2, 3, 5, and 6 function as efficient homogeneous electrocatalysts for the selective reduction of CO2 to CO (95-97% faradaic yield) in aqueous acetonitrile.
