TL;DR: This tutorial review will present much of the significant work that has been done in the field of electrocatalytic and homogeneous reduction of carbon dioxide over the past three decades and extend the discussion to the important conclusions from previous work and recommendations for future directions to develop a catalytic system that will convert carbon dioxide to liquid fuels with high efficiencies.

TL;DR: In this article, a planar array of nanometer-diameter metal clusters that are covalently linked to each other by rigid, double-ended organic molecules have been self-assembled.

TL;DR: Energy gap matching for reduction of CO(2) to different products, including CO, formic acid, and methanol, is used to identify the most promising systems.

TL;DR: Data from double-ended aryl dithiols used to tether nanometer-sized gold clusters deposited from a cluster beam are in good agreement with semiclassical predictions for correlated single-electron tunneling and permit estimation of the electrical resistance of a single XYL molecule.

TL;DR: In this paper, the theoretical and experimental characteristics of a self-assembled monolayer of dithiol molecules on a gold substrate measured with a scanning tunneling microscope probe were compared.
