Abstract

The complex cis-[Re(bpy)₂(CO)₂]⁺OTf⁻ (1⁺OTf⁻) is an integrated photosensitizer/catalyst for the selective visible light promoted photocatalytic reduction of CO₂. The formation of formic acid is unique among this class of Re catalysts, which yield CO as the selective product. A supplemental photosensitizer, Ru(bpy)₃²⁺, considerably enhanced the performance of this catalyst.
