===Abstract===
====Summary====
The photochemical reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> to CO was shown using the iron complex {{#moleculelink:|link=GKZBKMSETZXTMT-UHFFFAOYSA-K|image=false|width=300|height=200}} in combination with the organic photosensitizer {{#moleculelink:|link=PRWATGACIORDEL-UHFFFAOYSA-N|image=false|width=300|height=200}}. Turnover numbers (TONs) of up to 2250 and a selectivity of 99.3% for CO were reached in DMF/H<sub>2</sub>O. The experiments were conducted under visible-light irradiation (λ > 420 nm) with TEA (see section SEDs below) as sacrificial electron donor.
====Advances and special progress====
The presented study contains the first example for the use of an organic thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) compound as a photosensitizer in CO<sub>2</sub> reduction.

====Additional remarks====
===Content of the published article in detail===
The article contains results of a study for the reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> to CO using an iron complex and an organic TADF photosensitizer. The catalytic system performs best (referring to the TON of CO production) in DMF.
