Title: Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction by Trigonal-Bipyramidal Cobalt(II) Polypyridyl Complexes: The Nature of Cobalt(I) and Cobalt(0) Complexes upon Their Reactions with CO2, CO, or Proton

Journal Article · · Inorganic Chemistry

Trigonal-bipyramidal Co(II) complexes are used for photochemical carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction with Ru(bpy)32+ as a photosensitizer, tri-p-tolylamine (TTA) as a reversible quencher, and triethylamine (TEA) as a sacrificial electron donor to produce carbon monoxide and dihydrogen. Here, the CO2 reduction is slow because of the large structural changes, spin flipping in the cobalt catalytic intermediates, and an uphill reaction for reduction to catalytically active Co(0) by the photoproduced [Ru(bpy)3]+.
