Abstract
Summary
The photochemical reduction of CO2 to CO was shown using the iron complex Fe(DHPP)Cl in combination with the photosensitizers xx or xx. Turnover numbers (TONs) of up to 140 and a selectivity of xx for CO were reached in acetonitrile after xx h of irradiation. The experiments were conducted under visible-light irradiation (λ > 400 nm) with TEA (see section SEDs below) as sacrificial electron donor.
