Abstract
Summary
A photochemical reduction of CO2 to CO was shown using the iron complex as catalyst in combination with the organic photosensitizer 4CzIPN. Turnover numbers (TONs) of 6320 and a selectivity of 99.4% for CO were reached in DMF/H2O. The experiments were conducted under visible-light irradiation (λ = 440 nm) using TEA as sacrificial electron donor (see section SEDs below).
