Abstract
Summary
A photochemical reduction of CO2 to CO was shown using the iron complex as catalyst in combination with the copper photosensitizer . Turnover numbers (TONs) of 576 and a selectivity of 67% for CO were reached in DMF. The experiments were conducted under visible-light irradiation (λ = 420 nm) using BIH as sacrificial electron donor (see section SEDs below).
Advances and special progress
Additional remarks
Content of the published article in detail
The article contains results for the reduction of CO2 to CO under visible-light catalysis using an iron complex as a catalyst. The catalytic system performs best (referring to the TON of CO production) in MeCN/TEOA.
