Abstract

Summary

A photochemical reduction of CO2 to CO was shown using the manganese complexes as catalyst in combination with the ruthenium-based photosensitizer Ru(bpy)3Cl2. Turnover numbers (TONs) over xx and a selectivity of xx% for CO were reached in xx. The experiments were conducted under visible-light irradiation (λ = xx nm) using TEOA and BNAH as sacrificial electron donors (see section SEDs below).
