Photochemical reduction of NAD+ to 1,4-NADH without an enzyme
Abstract
Rh(terpy)23+ and Rh(bpy)33+(terpy = 2,2′; 6′,2″-terpyridine; bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) catalyse the regiospecific photochemical reduction of NAD+ into 1,4-NADH; Rh(terpy)23+ retains its catalytic activity in the photochemical reaction for longer than Rh(bpy)33+.
