In this work, we examine the use of competitive 13C kinetic isotope effects (13C KIEs) on CO2 reduction reactions that produce CO and formic acid as a means to formulate reaction mechanisms. The findings reported here mark a further advancement in the combined 13C KIE measurements and theoretical calculations methodology for probing CO2 conversion reactions.

Competitive 13C kinetic isotope effects can provide insights into CO2 reduction reactions, providing insights into reaction mechanisms and advancing the method for studying CO2 conversion reactions.
