Abstract
Summary
The photochemical reduction of CO2 to CO was shown using the iron complex Fe(DHPP)Cl in combination with the aminoanthraquinone photosensitizers xx-xx. Turnover numbers (TONs) of up to 21616 and a selectivity of >99.9% for CO were reached in DMF after 48 h of irradiation. The experiments were conducted under visible-light irradiation (λ > 400 nm) with BIH (see section SEDs below) as sacrificial electron donor.
Advances and special progress
The authors present an efficient photocatalytic system with naturally abundant photosensitizers and without rare metals in which both the photosensitizer and catalyst show a high activity.
Additional remarks
Content of the published article in detail
The article contains results of a study for the reduction of CO2 to CO using an iron complex and different aminoanthraquinone-based photosensitizers. The catalytic system performs best (referring to the TON of CO production) in DMF with photosensitizer xx.
