Without the use of a photosensitizer, [Mn(bpy)(CO)3(CN)] (MnCN) can photochemically form [Mn(bpy)(CO)3]−, the active species for CO2 reduction.
Light-activated CO-releasing hydrogels were prepared by incorporating terpyridine manganese carbonyl complexes Mn·1 and Mn·2 in Pluronic F-127. Upon irradiation, they release CO and show antibacterial activity, suggesting biomedical potential.
We report a study on a family of four new Mn- and Cd-azide-imidazolate-based compounds with various crystal architectures.
A UiO-67 MOF functionalized with [Ru(bpy)3]2+ and Mn2+ ions is active in light-driven amine oxidation. The oxidation via photosensitized singlet oxygen and electron transfer to manganese was evaluated.
Ru-containing ionic liquids bearing cyanoborate anions undergo solvent-free, photoinduced formation of discrete polynuclear complexes. Their ionic conductivity is reversibly modulated by light and heat.
