Abstract
Summary
A photochemical reduction of CO2 to CO was shown using the zinc porphyrin dyad with a connected rhenium complex -missing link parameter- as a combined catalyst and photosensitizer molecule. Turnover numbers (TONs) of >1300 and a selectivity of >99.9% for CO were reached in DMA with catalyst (100949). 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 the as a catalyst. The catalytic system performs best (referring to the TON of CO production) in DMA.
