A RuII complex [Ru(PO3 Et2 -ph-tpy)(6-mbpy)(NCCH3 )]2+ [PO3 Et2 -ph-tpy=diethyl(4-[(2,2':6',2''-terpyridin)-4'-yl]phenyl)phosphonate; 6-mbpy=6-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine] is explored as a molecular catalyst for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction in both a homogeneous solution and, as a phosphonated derivative, on nanocrystalline-TiO2 surfaces. In CH3 CN, the complex acts
