Exchange Coupling Determines Metal-Dependent Efficiency for Iron- and Cobalt-Catalyzed Photochemical CO2 Reduction

From ChemWiki


Abstract

Summary

A photochemical reduction of CO2 to CO was shown using an Fe2+ and Co2+ complexes as catalysts in combination with Ruxx as photosensitizer.

metal−ligand exchange coupling as an example of charge delocalization that can determine the efficiency for photocatalytic CO2RR. A comparative evaluation of iron and cobalt complexes supported by the redox-active ligand tpyPY2Me establishes that the two-electron reduction of [Co(tpyPY2Me)]2+ ([Co]2+) occurs at potentials 770 mV more negative than the [Fe(tpyPY2Me)]2+ ([Fe]2+) analogue by maximizing the exchange coupling in the latter compound.
