Photocatalytic CO2 reduction with aminoanthraquinone organic dyes

From ChemWiki


Abstract[edit | edit source]

Summary[edit | edit source]

The photochemical reduction of CO2 to CO was shown using the iron complex Fe(DHPP)Cl in combination with the aminoanthraquinone photosensitizers 1-aminoanthraquinone, 1-amino-4-hydroxyanthraquinone, 1-Amino-2-bromo-4-hydroxyanthraquinone, Bromaminic acid, 1,2-Diaminoanthraquinone and 1,4-Diaminoanthraquinone. Turnover numbers (TONs) of up to 21616 and a selectivity of >99.9% for CO were reached in DMF after 48 h of irradiation. The experiments were conducted under visible-light irradiation (λ > 400 nm) with BIH (see section SEDs below) as sacrificial electron donor.

Advances and special progress[edit | edit source]

The authors present an efficient photocatalytic system with naturally abundant photosensitizers and without rare metals in which both the photosensitizer and catalyst show a high activity.

Additional remarks[edit | edit source]

For the most efficient system investigated in this study, a TON of 21616 per mole of catalyst and a TON of 6012 per mole of photosensitizer was obtained.

Content of the published article in detail[edit | edit source]

The article contains results of a study for the reduction of CO2 to CO using an iron complex and different aminoanthraquinone-based photosensitizers. The catalytic system performs best (referring to the TON of CO production) in DMF with photosensitizer 1-Amino-2-bromo-4-hydroxyanthraquinone.
