In both enzymes, CO<sub>2</sub> activation at the metal active site is assisted by proximate amino acids and Fe–S-clusters. Functional features of the enzyme are mimicked in molecular catalysts by redox-active ligands, acidic and charged groups in the ligand periphery, and binuclear scaffolds. These components have all improved the catalytic performance of synthetic systems. Recent studies impart a deeper understanding of the individual contributions of the various functionalities to reactivity and of their combined effects. New catalyst platforms reveal alternate pathways for CO<sub>2</sub> reduction, unique intermediates, and strategies for switching selectivity. Design of a wider array of complexes that combine different functional elements is encouraged to further optimize catalysts for CO<sub>2</sub> reduction, especially for product formation beyond CO.
