Abstract
The utilization of low-energy sunlight to produce renewable fuels is a subject of great interest. Here we report the first example of metal chalcogenide quantum dots (QDs) capped with a pyridinethiolate carboxylic acid (pyS-COOH) for red-light-driven H2 production in water. The precious-metal-free system is robust over 240 h, and achieves a turnover number (TON) of 43910±305 (vs Ni) with a rate of 31570±1690 μmol g-1 h-1 for hydrogen production. In contrast to the inactive QDs capped with other thiolate ligands, the CdSe-pyS-COOH QDs give a significantly higher singlet oxygen quantum yield [ΦΔ (1O2)] in solution.

Abstract
ConspectusTo tackle the energy and environmental concerns the world faces, much attention is given to catalytic reactions converting methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) as abundant C1 resources into value-added chemicals with high efficiency and selectivity. In the oxidative conversion of CH4 to methanol, it is necessary to solve the requirement of strong oxidants due to the large bond-dissociation energy (BDE) of the C-H bonds in methane and achieve suppression of overoxidation due to the smaller BDE of the C-H bond in methanol as the product. On the other hand, to efficiently perform CO2 reduction, proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) processes are required since the reduction potential of CO2 becomes positive by using proton-coupled processes; however, under the acidic conditions required for PCET, hydrogen evolution by the reduction of protons becomes competitive with CO2 reduction. Thus, it is indispensable to develop efficient catalysts for selective CO2 reduction. Recently, we have developed efficient catalytic reactions toward the alleviation of the concerns mentioned above. Concerning CH4 oxidation, inspired by metalloenzymes that oxidize hydrophobic organic substrates, a hydrophobic second coordination sphere (SCS) was introduced to an FeII complex bearing a pentadentate N-heterocyclic carbene ligand, and the FeII complex was used as a catalyst for CH4 oxidation in aqueous media. Consequently, CH4 was efficiently and selectively oxidized to methanol with 83% selectivity and a turnover number of 500. In contrast, when methanol was used as a substrate for catalytic oxidation by the FeII complex, oxidation products were obtained in a negligible yield, which was comparable to that of the control experiment without the catalyst. Therefore, the hydrophobic SCS of the FeII complex can capture only hydrophobic substrates such as CH4 and release hydrophilic products such as methanol to the aqueous medium for suppressing overoxidation ("catch-and-release" mechanism). On the other hand, for photocatalytic CO2 reduction, we have developed NiII complexes with N2S2-chelating ligands as catalysts, which have been inspired by carbon monoxide dehydrogenase, and have also introduced a binding site of Lewis-acidic metal ions to the SCS of the Ni complex. When Mg2+ was applied as a moderate Lewis acid, a Mg2+-bound Ni catalyst allowed us to achieve remarkable enhancement of the photocatalytic CO2 reduction to afford CO as the product with over 99% selectivity and a quantum yield of 11.4%. Divalent metal ions besides Mg2+ also showed similar positive impacts on photocatalytic CO2 reduction, whereas monovalent metal ions exhibited almost no effects and trivalent metal ions exclusively promoted hydrogen evolution. In this Account, we highlight our recent progress in the catalytic manipulations of CH4 and CO2 as C1 resources.

Abstract
Controlling the interplay between relaxation and charge/energy transfer processes in the excited states of photocatalysts is crucial for the performance of artificial photosynthesis. Metal-to-ligand charge-transfer triplet states (3MLCT*) of ruthenium(II) complexes are broadly implemented for photocatalysis, but an effective means of managing the triplets for enhanced photocatalysis has been lacking. Herein, We proposed a strategy to considerably prolong the triplet excited-state lifetime by decorating a ruthenium(II) phosphine complex (RuP-1) with pendent polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Systematic studies demonstrate that in RuP-4 decorated with anthracene, sub-picosecond electron transfer from anthracene to 3MLCT* leads to a charge-separated state that can mediate the formation of the intra-ligand triplet state (3IL) of anthracene, resulting in an exceptionally long excited-state up to several milliseconds. This triplet management strategy enables impressive photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO with a turnover number (TON) of 404, an optimized quantum yield of 43 % and 100 % selectivity, which is the highest reported performance for mononuclear photocatalysts without additional photosensitizers. RuP-4 also catalyzes photochemical hydrogen generation under argon. This work opens up an avenue for regulating the excited-state charge/energy flow for the development of long-lived 3IL multi-functional mononuclear photocatalysts to boost artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
The utilization of low-energy photons in light-driven reactions is an effective strategy for improving the efficiency of solar energy conversion. In nature, photosynthetic organisms use chlorophylls to harvest the red portion of sunlight, which ultimately drives the reduction of CO2. However, a molecular system that mimics such function is extremely rare in non-noble-metal catalysis. Here we report a series of synthetic fluorinated chlorins as biomimetic chromophores for CO2 reduction, which catalytically produces CO under both 630 nm and 730 nm light irradiation, with turnover numbers of 1790 and 510, respectively. Under appropriate conditions, the system lasts over 240 h and stays active under 1% concentration of CO2. Mechanistic studies reveal that chlorin and chlorinphlorin are two key intermediates in red-light-driven CO2 reduction, while corresponding porphyrin and bacteriochlorin are much less active forms of chromophores.

Abstract
The dynamic characterization of guest molecules in the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can always provide the insightful and inspiring information to facilitate the synthetic design of MOF materials from the bottom-up design of perspective. Herein, we present a series of atomistic molecular dynamics simulation for investigating the bipyridine dicarboxylate (bpydc) linker rotation effect on guest molecule adsorption with and without considering the transition metal (TM) chelation in MOF-253 materials. The simulated PXRD patterns of the various linker orientations present the challenge of distinguishing these structural varieties by the conventional crystalline spectroscopic measurements. The observed short inter-TM stable structure may subsequently lead to the formation of a binuclear TM catalytic site, and a proposed formic acid generation mechanism from CO2 and H2 is derived based upon the density functional theory calculations for the application of CO2 reduction.

Abstract
The construction of secondary building units (SBUs) in versatile metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represents a promising method for developing multi-functional materials, especially for improving their sensitizing ability. Herein, we developed a dual small molecules auxiliary strategy to construct a high-nuclear transition-metal-based UiO-architecture Co16-MOF-BDC with visible-light-absorbing capacity. Remarkably, the N3 - molecule in hexadecameric cobalt azide SBU offers novel modification sites to precise bonding of strong visible-light-absorbing chromophores via click reaction. The resulting Bodipy@Co16-MOF-BDC exhibits extremely high performance for oxidative coupling benzylamine (~100 % yield) via both energy and electron transfer processes, which is much superior to that of Co16-MOF-BDC (31.5 %) and Carboxyl @Co16-MOF-BDC (37.5 %). Systematic investigations reveal that the advantages of Bodipy@Co16-MOF-BDC in dual light-absorbing channels, robust bonding between Bodipy/Co16 clusters and efficient electron-hole separation can greatly boost photosynthesis. This work provides an ideal molecular platform for synergy between photosensitizing MOFs and chromophores by constructing high-nuclear transition-metal-based SBUs with surface-modifiable small molecules.

Abstract
The dilemma between the thickness and accessible active site triggers the design of porous crystalline materials with mono-layered structure for advanced photo-catalysis applications. Here, a kind of sub-nanometer mono-layered nanosheets (Co-MOF MNSs) through the exfoliation of specifically designed Co3 cluster-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is reported. The sub-nanometer thickness and inherent light-sensitivity endow Co-MOF MNSs with fully exposed Janus Co3 sites that can selectively photo-reduce CO2 into formic acid under simulated flue gas. Notably, the production efficiency of formic acid by Co-MOF MNSs (0.85 mmol g-1 h-1) is ≈13 times higher than that of the bulk counterpart (0.065 mmol g-1 h-1) under a simulated flue gas atmosphere, which is the highest in reported works up to date. Theoretical calculations prove that the exposed Janus Co3 sites with simultaneously available sites possess higher activity when compared with single Co site, validating the importance of mono-layered nanosheet morphology. These results may facilitate the development of functional nanosheet materials for CO2 photo-reduction in potential flue gas treatment.

Abstract
The development of strong sensitizing and Earth-abundant antenna molecules is highly desirable for CO2 reduction through artificial photosynthesis. Herein, a library of Zn-dipyrrin complexes (Z-1-Z-6) are rationally designed via precisely controlling their molecular configuration to optimize strong sensitizing Earth-abundant photosensitizers. Upon visible-light excitation, their special geometry enables intramolecular charge transfer to induce a charge-transfer state, which was first demonstrated to accept electrons from electron donors. The resulting long-lived reduced photosensitizer was confirmed to trigger consecutive intermolecular electron transfers for boosting CO2-to-CO conversion. Remarkably, the Earth-abundant catalytic system with Z-6 and Fe-catalyst exhibits outstanding performance with a turnover number of >20 000 and 29.7% quantum yield, representing excellent catalytic performance among the molecular catalytic systems and highly superior to that of noble-metal photosensitizer Ir(ppy)2(bpy)+ under similar conditions. Experimental and theoretical investigations comprehensively unveil the structure-activity relationship, opening up a new horizon for the development of Earth-abundant strong sensitizing chromophores for boosting artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (ECO2RR) is a promising way to realize the transformation of waste into valuable material, which can not only meet the environmental goal of reducing carbon emissions, but also obtain clean energy and valuable industrial products simultaneously. Herein, we first introduce the complex CO2RR mechanisms based on the number of carbons in the product. Since the coupling of C-C bonds is unanimously recognized as the key mechanism step in the ECO2RR for the generation of high-value products, the structural-activity relationship of electrocatalysts is systematically reviewed. Next, we comprehensively classify the latest developments, both experimental and theoretical, in different categories of cutting-edge electrocatalysts and provide theoretical insights on various aspects. Finally, challenges are discussed from the perspectives of both materials and devices to inspire researchers to promote the industrial application of the ECO2RR at the earliest.

Abstract
Photocatalytic technology can efficiently convert solar energy to chemical energy and this process is considered as one of the green and sustainable technology for practical implementation. In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted widespread attention due to their unique advantages and have been widely applied in the field of photocatalysis. Among them, noble metals have contributed significant advances to the field as effective catalysts in photocatalytic reactions. Importantly, noble metals can also form a synergistic catalytic effect with MOFs to further improve the efficiency of photocatalytic reactions. However, how to precisely control the synergistic effect between MOFs and noble metals to improve the photocatalytic performance of materials still needs to be further studied. In this review, the synergistic effects of MOFs and noble metal catalysts in photocatalytic reactions are firstly summarized in terms of noble metal nanoparticles, noble metal monoatoms, noble metal compounds, and noble metal complexes, and focus on the mechanisms and advantages of these synergistic effects, so as to provide useful guidance for the further research and application of MOFs and contribute to the development of the field of photocatalysis.

Abstract
The design of photocatalytic supramolecular systems composing of semiconductors and molecular metal complexes for CO2 reduction has attracted increasing attention. The supramolecular system combines the structural merits of semiconductors and metal complexes, where the semiconductor harvests light and undertakes the oxidative site, while the metal complex provides activity for CO2 reduction. The intermolecular charge transfer plays crucial role in ensuring photocatalytic performance. Here, we review the progress of photocatalytic supramolecular systems in reduction of CO2 and highlight the interfacial charge transfer pathways, as well as their state-of-the-art characterization methods. The remaining challenges and prospects for further design of supramolecular photocatalysts are also presented.

Abstract
Converting into high-value-added products represents the most optimal approach to CO2 utilization. The substitution of CO with CO2 as a potential critical material for formamide production is widely regarded as an ideal pathway and has garnered significant attention. However, high temperatures and pressures remain essential for the reaction, exerting a substantial influence on the utilization process. Herein, N-formylmorpholine was creatively synthesized by integrating the capture and solar-driven utilization of CO2 with morpholine. Notably, a remarkable N-formylmorpholine yield of 11433.3 μmol·h-1·g-1 was obtained, surpassing pure MoO3 by an astounding factor of 89.1 with a N-formylmorpholine yield of 63.8 μmol in 6 h, which is an astonishing increase of 57.5 times compared to MoO3. Both experimental results and density functional theory calculations suggest that the inclusion of Fe can effectively reduce the formation energy barrier while facilitating the desorption process of N-formylmorpholine, thereby optimizing the overall performance.

Abstract
Dye-sensitized photocatalytic systems (DSPs) have been extensively investigated for solar-driven hydrogen (H2 ) evolution. However, their application in carbon dioxide (CO2 ) reduction remains limited. Furthermore, current solar-driven CO2 -to-CO DSPs typically employ rhenium complexes as catalysts. In this study, we have developed DSPs that incorporate noble metal-free components, specifically a zinc-porphyrin as photosensitizer (PS) and a cobalt-quaterpyridine as catalyst (CAT). Taking a significant stride forward, we have achieved an antenna effect for the first time in CO2 -to-CO DSPs by introducing a Bodipy as an additional chromophore to enhance light harvesting efficiency. The energy transfer from Bodipy to zinc porphyrin resulted in remarkable stability (turn over number (TON)=759 vs. CAT), and high CO evolution activity (42 mmol g-1 h-1 vs. CAT).

Abstract
Cu(II) supramolecular assemblies [Cu2(tipe)2(H2O)2](NO3)4·2.5H2O (CuN4) and [Cu2Cl4(tipe)(CH3CN)]·H2O (CuN2Cl2) (tipe = 1,1,2,2-tetrakis(4-(imidazole-1-yl)phenyl)ethene) were synthesized and utilized for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. CuN4 exhibits CO production of up to 891 μmol gcat-1 with a selectivity of 79.9%, while CuN2Cl2 gives low CO production of 206 μmol gcat-1 but with a high selectivity of >99.9% in 5 h. The experimental and DFT calculation results indicate that the coordination environment and non-covalent interactions within the assemblies have a great impact on the photocatalytic CO2 reduction behavior. This work provides useful insights on Cu(II) assembly catalyzed CO2 photoreduction.

Abstract
The construction of structurally well-defined supramolecular hosts to accommodate catalytically active species within a cavity is a promising way to address catalyst deactivation. The resulting supramolecular catalysts can significantly improve the utilization of catalytic sites, thereby achieving a highly efficient chemical conversion. In this study, the Co-metalated phthalocyanine (Pc-Co) was successfully confined within a tetragonal prismatic metallacage, leading to the formation of a distinctive type of supramolecular photocatalyst (Pc-Co@Cage). The host-guest architecture of Pc-Co@Cage was unambiguously elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), NMR, and ESI-TOF-MS, revealing that the single cobalt active site can be thoroughly isolated within the space-restricted microenvironment. In addition, we found that Pc-Co@Cage can serve as a homogeneous supramolecular photocatalyst that displays high CO2 to CO conversion in aqueous media under visible light irradiation. This supramolecular photocatalyst exhibits an obvious improvement in activity (TONCO = 4175) and selectivity (SelCO = 92%) relative to the nonconfined Pc-Co catalyst (TONCO = 500, SelCO = 54%). The present strategy provided a rare example for the construction of a highly active, selective, and stable photocatalyst for CO2 reduction through a cavity-confined molecular catalyst within a discrete metallacage.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic mechanisms of CO2 reduction catalyzed by pyridine-oxazoline (pyrox)-based Mn catalysts were investigated by DFT calculations. In-depth comparative analyses of pyrox-based and bipyridine-based Mn complexes were carried out. C-OH cleavage is the rate-determining step for both the protonation-first path and the reduction-first path. The free energy of CO2 activation (ΔG1) and the electrons donated by CO ligands in this step are effective descriptors in regulating the C-OH cleavage barrier. The reduction of carboxylate complex 6 (E6) is the potential-determining step for the reduction-first path. Meanwhile, for the protonation-first path, the initial generation (E2) or the regeneration (E8) of active catalyst might be potential-determining. Hirshfeld charge and orbital contribution analysis indicate that E6 is definitely based on the heterocyclic ligand and E2 is related to both the heterocyclic ligand and three CO ligands. Therefore, replacement of the CO ligand by a stronger electron donating ligand can effectively boost the catalytic activity of CO2 reduction without increasing the overpotential in the reduction-first path. This hypothesis is supported by the mechanism calculations of the Mn complex in which the axial CO ligand is replaced by a pyridine or PMe3.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction is one of the best solutions to solve the global energy crisis and to realize carbon neutralization. The tetradentate phosphine-bipyridine (bpy)-phosphine (PNNP)-type Ir(III) photocatalyst, Mes-IrPCY2, was reported with a high HCOOH selectivity but the photocatalytic mechanism remains elusive. Herein, we employ electronic structure methods in combination with radiative, nonradiative, and electron transfer rate calculations, to explore the entire photocatalytic cycle to either HCOOH or CO, based on which a new mechanistic scenario is proposed. The catalytic reduction reaction starts from the generation of the precursor metal-to-ligand charge transfer (3 MLCT) state. Subsequently, the divergence happens from the 3 MLCT state, the single electron transfer (SET) and deprotonation process lead to the formation of one-electron-reduced species and Ir(I) species, which initiate the reduction reaction to HCOOH and CO, respectively. Interestingly, the efficient occurrence of proton or electron transfer reduces barriers of critical steps. In addition, nonadiabatic transitions play a nonnegligible role in the cycle. We suggest a lower free-energy barrier in the reaction-limiting step and the very efficient SET in 3 MLCT are cooperatively responsible for a high HCOOH selectivity. The gained mechanistic insights could help chemists to understand, regulate, and design photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction of similar function-integrated molecular photocatalyst.

Abstract
The development of efficient, recyclable and low-cost heterogeneous catalysts for conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) into epoxides is highly desired, yet remain a challenge. Herein, we have prepared three two-dimensional (2D) copper(I) cyclic trinuclear units (Cu(I)-CTUs) based covalent metal-organic frameworks (CMOFs), namely JNM-13, JNM-14, and JNM-15, via a one-pot reaction by combination of coordination and dynamic covalent chemistry. Among them, JNM-15 contained the highest density of copper catalytic sites, and exhibited the highest capacity for adsorption of CO2 . More interestingly, JNM-15 delivered the highest catalytic activity for cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides with good yields (up to 99 %), good substrate compatibility (11 examples) and reusability (four catalytic cycles) under mild condition.

Abstract
New 1,2-azolylamidino complexes fac-[RuCl(DMSO)3(NHC(R)az*-κ2N,N)]OTf [R = Me (2), Ph (3); az* = pz (pyrazolyl, a), indz (indazolyl, b)] are synthesized via chloride abstraction from their corresponding precursors cis,fac-[RuCl2(DMSO)3(az*H)] (1) after subsequent base-catalyzed coupling of the appropriate nitrile with the 1,2-azole previously coordinated. All the compounds are characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy. Those derived from MeCN are also characterized by X-ray diffraction. Electrochemical studies showed several reduction waves in the range of -1.5 to -3 V. The electrochemical behavior in CO2 media is consistent with CO2 electrocatalytic reduction. The catalytic activity expressed as [icat(CO2)/ip(Ar)] ranged from 1.7 to 3.7 for the 1,2-azolylamidino complexes at voltages of ca. -2.7 to -3 V vs. ferrocene/ferrocenium. Controlled potential electrolysis showed rapid decomposition of the Ru catalysts. Photocatalytic CO2 reduction experiments using compounds 1b, 2b and 3b carried out in a CO2-saturated MeCN/TEOA (4 : 1 v/v) solution containing a mixture of the catalyst and [Ru(bipy)3]2+ as the photosensitizer under continuous irradiation (light intensity of 150 mW cm-2 at 25 °C, λ > 300 nm) show that compounds 1b, 2b and 3b allowed CO2 reduction catalysis, producing CO and trace amounts of formate. The combined turnover number for the production of formate and CO is ca. 100 after 8 h and follows the order 1b < 2b ≈ 3b.

Abstract
Photocatalytic organic reactions, harvesting solar energy to produce high value-added organic chemicals, have attracted increasing attention as a sustainable approach to address the global energy crisis and environmental issues. Reticular framework materials, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), are widely considered as promising candidates for photocatalysis owing to their high crystallinity, tailorable pore environment and extensive structural diversity. Although the design and synthesis of MOFs and COFs have been intensively developed in the last 20 years, their applications in photocatalytic organic transformations are still in the preliminary stage, making their systematic summary necessary. Thus, this review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding and useful guidelines for the exploration of suitable MOF and COF photocatalysts towards appropriate photocatalytic organic reactions. The commonly used reactions are categorized to facilitate the identification of suitable reaction types. From a practical viewpoint, the fundamentals of experimental design, including active species, performance evaluation and external reaction conditions, are discussed in detail for easy experimentation. Furthermore, the latest advances in photocatalytic organic reactions of MOFs and COFs, including their composites, are comprehensively summarized according to the actual active sites, together with the discussion of their structure-property relationship. We believe that this study will be helpful for researchers to design novel reticular framework photocatalysts for various organic synthetic applications.

Abstract
The realization of a complete techno-economy through a significant carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction in the atmosphere has been explored to promote a low-carbon economy in various ways. CO2 reduction reactions (CO2RRs) can be induced using sustainable energy, including electric and solar energy, using systems such as electrochemical (EC) CO2RR and photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems. This study summarizes various fabrication strategies for non-noble metal, copper-based, and metal-organic framework-based catalysts with excellent Faradaic efficiency (FE) for target carbon compounds, and for noble metals with low overvoltage. Although EC and PEC systems achieve high energy conversion efficiency with excellent catalysts, they still require external power and lack complete bias-free operation. Therefore, photovoltaics, which can overcome the limitations of these systems, have been introduced. The utilization of silicon and perovskite-based solar cells for photovoltaics-assisted EC (PV-EC) and photovoltaics-assisted PEC (PV-PEC) CO2RR systems are cost-efficient, and the III-V semiconductor photoabsorbers achieved high solar-to-carbon efficiency. This work focuses on PV-EC and PV-PEC CO2RR systems and their components and then summarizes the special cell configurations, including the tandem and stacked structures. Additionally, the study discusses current issues, such as low energy conversion, expensive PV, theoretical limits, and industrial scale-up, along with proposed solutions.

Abstract
Inspiration from natural enzymes enabling creationary catalyst design is appealing yet remains extremely challenging for selective methane (CH4) oxidation. This study presents the construction of a biomimetic catalyst platform for CH4 oxidation, which is constructed by incorporating Fe-porphyrin into a robust metal-organic framework, UiO-66, furnished with saturated monocarboxylic fatty acid bearing different long alkyl chains. The catalysts demonstrate the high efficiency in the CH4 to methanol (CH3OH) conversion at 50 °C. Moreover, the selectivity to CH3OH can be effectively regulated and promoted through a fine-tuned microenvironment by hydrophobic modification around the Fe-porphyrin. The long-chain fatty acids anchored on the Zr-oxo cluster of UiO-66 can not only tune the electronic state of the Fe sites to improve CH4 adsorption, but also restrict the amount of H2O2 around the Fe sites to reduce the overoxidation. This behavior resembles the microenvironment regulation in methane monooxygenase, resulting in high CH3OH selectivity.

Abstract
Facile synthesis of hierarchically porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with adjustable porosity and high crystallinity attracts great attention yet remains challenging. Herein, a micromolar amount of dye-based modulator (Rhodamine B (RhB)) is employed to easily and controllably tailor the pore size of a Ti-based metal-organic framework (MIL-125-NH2 ). The RhB used in this method is easily removed by washing or photodegradation, avoiding secondary posttreatment. It is demonstrated that the carboxyl functional group and the steric effects of RhB are indispensable for enlarging the pore size of the MIL-125-NH2 . The resulting hierarchically porous MIL-125-NH2 (RH-MIL-125-NH2 ) exhibits optimized adsorption and photocatalytic activity because the newly formed mesopore with defects concurrently facilitates mass transport of guest molecules (toluene) and photogenerated charge separation. This work offers a meaningful basis for the construction of hierarchically porous MOFs and demonstrates the superiority of the hierarchical pore structure for adsorption and heterogeneous catalysis.

Significance of the connecting position between Zn(ii) porphyrin and Re(i) bipyridine tricarbonyl complex units in dyads for room-temperature phosphorescence and photocatalytic CO 2 reduction: unexpected enhancement by triethanolamine in catalytic activity. Chem Sci 2023; 14:8743-8765.

Abstract
We synthesized three new dyads composed of a Zn porphyrin and fac-Re(bpy)(CO)3Br (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) units, ZnP-nBpy[double bond, length as m-dash]ReBr (n = 4, 5, and 6), in which the porphyrin is directly connected at the meso-position through the 4-, 5-, or 6-position of the bpy. We investigated the relationships between the connecting positions and the photophysical properties as well as catalytic activity in the CO2 reduction reaction. The dyad connected through the 6-position, ZnP-6Bpy[double bond, length as m-dash]ReBr, showed obvious phosphorescence with a lifetime of 280 μs at room temperature, in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), whereas the other two dyads showed almost no phosphorescence under the same conditions. The photocatalytic CO2 reduction reactions in DMA using 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole as the electron donor and the three dyads ZnP-nBpy[double bond, length as m-dash]ReBr selectively produced CO with similar initial rates, but the durabilities were low. The addition of triethanolamine (TEOA) suppressed the decomposition of dyads, improving their durabilities and reaction efficiencies. In particular, ZnP-5Bpy[double bond, length as m-dash]ReBr was remarkably improved-it gave the highest durability and reaction efficiency among the three dyads; the reaction quantum yield reached 24%. The reason for this significant activity is no accumulation of electrons on the Zn porphyrin in ZnP-5Bpy[double bond, length as m-dash]ReBr, which would be caused by dual interactions of TEOA with the Re and Zn ions in the dyad. As the highest catalytic activity was observed in ZnP-5Bpy[double bond, length as m-dash]ReBr among the three dyads, which had no room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP), the catalytic activities and RTP properties are considered independent, but they are greatly influenced by the connecting positions on the bpy ligand in ZnP-nBpy[double bond, length as m-dash]ReBr.

Abstract
Heterometallic oxo clusters have been attracting intensive interest due to their unique properties originating from the synergistic interactions between different components. Herein, we report the construction and catalytic applications of a family of copper-doped polyoxo-titanium clusters (Cu-PTCs) coordinated with different acetate derivative ligands. The solvothermal reactions of metal salts and trimethylacetic acid or 1,2-phenylenediacetic acid in ethanol produced Ti6Cu3(μ3-O)4(μ2-O)(OEt)16(L1)4 (L1 = trimethyl acetate, PTC-367) and H2Ti8Cu2Br2(μ4-O)2(μ2-O)4(OEt)20(L2)2 (L2 = 1,2-phenylenediacetate, PTC-368), respectively. When smaller acetic acid was introduced as a stabilizing ligand, higher nuclei H2Ti16Cu3(μ4-O)5(μ3-O)15(μ2-O)3(OiPr)18(Ac)8 (Ac = acetate, PTC-369) and H3Ti29Cu3(μ4-O)6(μ3-O)30(μ2-O)8(OiPr)17(Ac)20 (PTC-370) were prepared. The number of metal ions exposed on the surface of the four clusters changes due to variations in the steric hindrance of functionalizing ligands, and theoretically, so does their catalytic activity as Lewis acids. In light of this, we conducted a carbon dioxide cycloaddition reaction in an atmospheric environment and the four obtained compounds displayed increasing catalytic activities from PTC-367 to PTC-370. These results provide a feasible synthetic method for modulating the structures of Cu-doped titanium oxide materials and improving their catalytic activities.

Abstract
Photocatalytic reduction of excess CO2 in the atmosphere to value-added chemicals by visible light can be an effective solution to fuel shortage and global warming. Considering these issues, we designed and successfully synthesized a trinuclear Re(I)-coordinated organic cage (Re-C4R) as the supramolecular photocatalyst. Photophysical, electrochemical properties, and photocatalytic performance comparison of Re-C4R and its mononuclear analogue Re-bpy are discussed in detail. Notably, the covalent linkage of three Re(I) subunits in Re-C4R leads to TONCO = 691 (per Re(I) site in 4 h) more than three times as much as TONCO = 208 of Re-bpy. Compared to Re-bpy, higher current enhancement in the control CV experiments under CO2 was observed for Re-C4R. CO2 adsorption process can be promoted because of the cryptand structure and multiple amine groups of Re-C4R. Moreover, decay lifetimes of Re-C4R are shorter than those of Re-bpy in the ultrafast transient absorption (TA) and photoluminescence (PL) decay spectra, indicating that the trinuclear cryptate structure of Re-C4R could facilitate electron transfer efficiency during CO2 reduction.

Abstract
CdIn2S4 is an interesting ternary metal sulfide whose narrow band gap and tunable optical properties offer new opportunities for the development of novel ECL emitters. Here, we use a simple hydrothermal synthesis to obtain hollow spindle CdIn2S4 (S-CIS), which exhibits strong near-infrared electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emission with K2S2O8 as a coreactant at a low excitation potential (-1.3 V), which is encouraging. The lower excitation potential of S-CIS is probably due to the low band gap energy, which makes the excitation potential positively shift. This lower excitation potential reduces the side-reactions caused by high voltages, effectively avoiding irreversible damage to biomolecules, and protecting the biological activity of antigens and antibodides. In this work, new features of S-CIS in ECL studies are also presented, demonstrating that the ECL emission mechanism of S-CIS is generated by surface state transitions and that S-CIS exhibits excellent near-infrared (NIR) characteristics. Importantly, we introduced S-CIS into electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and ECL to the construct a dual-mode sensing platform to achieve AFP detection. The two models with intrinsic reference calibration and high accuracy showed outstanding analytical performance in AFP detection. The detection limits were 0.862 pg mL-1 and 16.8 fg mL-1, respectively. This study demonstrates the key role and great application potential of S-CIS as a novel NIR emitter with easy preparation, low cost and great performance in the development of a simple, efficient and ultrasensitive dual-mode response sensing platform for early clinical use.

Abstract
Three novel rhenium N-heterocyclic carbene complexes, [Re]-NHC-1-3 ([Re] = fac-Re(CO)3Br), were synthesized and characterized using a range of spectroscopic techniques. Photophysical, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical studies were carried out to probe the properties of these organometallic compounds. Re-NHC-1 and Re-NHC-2 bear a phenanthrene backbone on an imidazole (NHC) ring, coordinating to Re by both the carbene C and a pyridyl group attached to one of the imidazole nitrogen atoms. Re-NHC-2 differs from Re-NHC-1 by replacing N-H with an N-benzyl group as the second substituent on imidazole. The replacement of the phenanthrene backbone in Re-NHC-2 with the larger pyrene gives Re-NHC-3. The two-electron electrochemical reductions of Re-NHC-2 and Re-NHC-3 result in the formation of the five-coordinate anions that are capable of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. These catalysts are formed first at the initial cathodic wave R1, and then, ultimately, via the reduction of Re-Re bound dimer intermediates at the second cathodic wave R2. All three Re-NHC-1-3 complexes are active photocatalysts for the transformation of CO2 to CO, with the most photostable complex, Re-NHC-3, being the most effective for this conversion. Re-NHC-1 and Re-NHC-2 afforded modest CO turnover numbers (TONs), following irradiation at 355 nm, but were inactive at the longer irradiation wavelength of 470 nm. In contrast, Re-NHC-3, when photoexcited at 470 nm, yielded the highest TON in this study, but remained inactive at 355 nm. The luminescence spectrum of Re-NHC-3 is red-shifted compared to those of Re-NHC-1 and Re-NHC-2, and previously reported similar [Re]-NHC complexes. This observation, together with TD-DFT calculations, suggests that the nature of the lowest-energy optical excitation for Re-NHC-3 has π→π*(NHC-pyrene) and dπ(Re)→π*(pyridine) (IL/MLCT) character. The stability and superior photocatalytic performance of Re-NHC-3 are attributed to the extended conjugation of the π-electron system, leading to the beneficial modulation of the strongly electron-donating tendency of the NHC group.

Abstract
The mechanism of photochemical CO2 reduction to formate by PCN-136, a Zr-based metal-organic framework (MOF) that incorporates light-harvesting nanographene ligands, has been investigated using steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The catalysis was found to proceed via a "photoreactive capture" mechanism, where Zr-based nodes serve to capture CO2 in the form of Zr-bicarbonates, while the nanographene ligands have a dual role of absorbing light and storing one-electron equivalents for catalysis. We also find that the process occurs via a "two-for-one" route, where a single photon initiates a cascade of electron/hydrogen atom transfers from the sacrificial donor to the CO2-bound MOF. The mechanistic findings obtained here illustrate several advantages of MOF-based architectures in molecular photocatalyst engineering and provide insights on ways to achieve high formate selectivity.

Abstract
Quinolones and isoquinolones are of particular importance to pharmaceutical industry due to their diverse biological activities. However, their synthetic protocols were limited by high toxicity, high energy consumption, poor functional group tolerance and noble metal catalyst. This study concerns the development of a series of TEMPO@PCN-222 (TEMPO: 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy; PCN: porous coordination network) composite photocatalysts by coordinating different amount of 4-carboxy-TEMPO with the secondary building units of PCN-222. Upon visible-light irradiation, photogenerated holes in the highest occupied molecular orbital of PCN-222 can smoothly transfer to TEMPO, which can significantly boost the photosynthesis of bioactive (iso)quinolones from readily available N-alkyl(iso)quinolinium salts. TEMPO@PCN-222 exhibits an outstanding catalytic stability and substrate tolerance with a 1-methyl-2-quinolinone yield of 86.7 %, over four times that with PCN-222 (21.4 %). This work provides a new route to construct composite photocatalysts from abundant starting materials for efficient photosynthesis of high value-added chemicals.

Abstract
The highly selective photoreduction of CO2 into valuable small-molecule chemical feedstocks such as CO is an effective strategy for addressing the energy crisis and environmental problems. However, it remains a challenge because the complex CO2 photoreduction process usually generates multiple possible products and requires a subsequent separation step. In this paper, 2D monolayer and bilayer porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are successfully constructed by adjusting the reaction temperature and solvent polarity with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-pyridyl)porphyrin as the light-harvesting ligand. The bilayer MOF is a low-dimensional MOF with a special structure in which the upper and lower layers are arranged in dislocation and are bridged by halogen ions. This bilayer MOF exhibits 100% ultra-high selectivity for the reduction of CO2 to CO under simulated sunlight without any cocatalyst or photosensitizer and can be recycled at least three times. The intrinsic mechanism of this photocatalytic CO2 reduction process is explored through experimental characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This work shows that the rational design of the number of layers in 2D MOF structures can tune the stability of these structures and opens a new avenue for the design of highly selective MOF photocatalysts.

Abstract
The direct utilization of solar energy to convert CO2 into renewable chemicals remains a challenge. One essential difficulty is the development of efficient and inexpensive light-absorbers. Here we show a series of aminoanthraquinone organic dyes to promote the efficiency for visible light-driven CO2 reduction to CO when coupled with an Fe porphyrin catalyst. Importantly, high turnover numbers can be obtained for both the photosensitizer and the catalyst, which has not been achieved in current light-driven systems. Structure-function study performed with substituents having distinct electronic effects reveals that the built-in donor-acceptor property of the photosensitizer significantly promotes the photocatalytic activity. We anticipate this study gives insight into the continued development of advanced photocatalysts for solar energy conversion.

Abstract
Suppressing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is an essential measure toward addressing global warming. Specifically, the photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CRR) is an effective strategy because it affords the conversion of CO2 into useful carbon feedstocks by using sunlight and water. However, the practical application of photocatalyst-promoting CRR (CRR photocatalysts) requires significant improvement of their conversion efficiency. Accordingly, extensive research is being conducted toward improving semiconductor photocatalysts, as well as cocatalysts that are loaded as active sites on the photocatalysts. In this review, we summarize recent research and development trends in the improvement of cocatalysts, which have a significant impact on the catalytic activity and selectivity of photocatalytic CRR. We expect that the advanced knowledge provided on the improvement of cocatalysts for CRR in this review will serve as a general guideline to accelerate the development of highly efficient CRR photocatalysts.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been frequently used as photocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) using sacrificial agents with UV-vis or visible light irradiation. The aim of the present review is to summarize the use of MOFs as solar-driven photocatalysts targeting to overcome the current efficiency limitations in overall water splitting (OWS). Initially, the fundamentals of the photocatalytic OWS under solar irradiation are presented. Then, the different strategies that can be implemented on MOFs to adapt them for solar photocatalysis for OWS are discussed in detail. Later, the most active MOFs reported until now for the solar-driven HER and/or oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are critically commented. These studies are taken as precedents for the discussion of the existing studies on the use of MOFs as photocatalysts for the OWS under visible or sunlight irradiation. The requirements to be met to use MOFs at large scale for the solar-driven OWS are also discussed. The last section of this review provides a summary of the current state of the field and comments on future prospects that could bring MOFs closer to commercial application.

Abstract
With the rapid development of modern society, environmental problems, including excessive amounts of CO2 released in the atmosphere, are becoming more and more serious. It is necessary to develop new materials and technologies to reduce pollution. Among them, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown potential for application in the area of catalysis due to their ultra-high specific surface area, structural versatility, and designability as well as ease of modification and post-synthesis. Herein, we summarize recent research advances by use of MOFs for boosting CO2 conversion. Furthermore, challenges and possible research directions related to further exploration are also discussed.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous materials with periodic network structures formed by self-assembly of metal ions and organic ligands. Attributed to their tunable composition and pore size, ultrahigh surface area (1000-7000 m2/g) and pore volume (1.04-4.40 cm3/g), easy surface modification, appropriate physiological stability, etc., MOFs have been widely used in biomedical applications in the last two decades, especially for the delivery of bioactive agents. In the initial stage, MOFs were widely used to load small molecule drugs with ultra-high doses. Whereafter, more recent work has focused on the load of biomacromolecules, such as nucleic acids and proteins. Over the past years, we have devoted extensive effort to investigate the function of MOF materials for bioactive agent delivery. MOFs can be used not only as an intelligent nanocarrier to deliver or protect bioactive agents but also as an activator for their release or activation in response to the different microenvironments. Altogether, this review details the current progress of MOF materials for bioactive agent delivery and looks into their future development.

Abstract
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs), a class of coordination polymers, gained popularity in the late 1990s with the efforts of Omar Yaghi, Richard Robson, Susumu Kitagawa, and others. The intrinsic porosity of MOFs made them a clear platform for gas storage and separation. Indeed, these applications have dominated the vast literature in MOF synthesis, characterization, and applications. However, even in those early years, there were hints to more advanced applications in light-MOF interactions and catalysis. This perspective focuses on the combination of both light-MOF interactions and catalysis: MOF artificial photosynthetic assemblies. Light absorption, charge transport, H2O oxidation, and CO2 reduction have all been previously observed in MOFs; however, work toward a fully MOF-based approach to artificial photosynthesis remains out of reach. Discussed here are the current limitations with MOF-based approaches: diffusion through the framework, selectivity toward high value products, lack of integrated studies, and stability. These topics provide a roadmap for the future development of fully integrated MOF-based assemblies for artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Direct conversion of diluted CO2 to value-added chemical stocks and fuels with solar energy is an energy-saving approach to relieve global warming and realize a carbon-neutral cycle. The exploration of catalysts with both efficient CO2 adsorption and reduction ability is significant to achieving this goal. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging in the field of low-concentration CO2 reduction due to their highly tunable structure, high porosity, abundant active sites and excellent CO2 adsorption capacity. This highlight outlines the advantages of MOFs for low-pressure CO2 adsorption and the strategies to improve the photocatalytic performance of MOF materials at low CO2 concentrations, including the functionalization of organic ligands, regulation of metal nodes and preparation of MOF composites or derivatives.

Abstract
The construction of hybrid catalysts composed of inorganic semiconductors and molecular catalysts shows great potential for achieving high photocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion efficiency. In this study, ZnIn2S4 was first synthesized via a solvothermal route. Gold (Au) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles were then deposited on ZnIn2S4 via the reduction of noble metal precursor by sulfur vacancy defects. The obtained composite was further combined with tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin iron(III) chloride (FeTCPP) molecular catalyst for efficient photocatalytic CO2 conversion. The roles of different noble metal nanoparticles in charge separation and interfacial electron transfer have been comprehensively studied. The photocatalytic performance and photoelectrochemical characterizations demonstrate that the introduction of Ag or Au nanoparticles is beneficial for charge separation. More importantly, the presence of Ag nanoparticles plays a crucial role in promoting the interfacial charge transfer between ZnIn2S4 and FeTCPP, whereas, Au nanoparticles function as active sites for the water reduction reaction.

Abstract
Organic dyes have been investigated extensively as promising photosensitizers in noble-metal-free photocatalytic systems for hydrogen production. However, other than functional group optimization, there are very few methods reported to be effective in improving their photocatalytic activity. Herein, we report the incorporation of Cu2+ into purpurin and gallein dyes for visible-light-driven hydrogen production. These Cu-dye chromophores significantly promote the photocatalytic activity of homogeneous systems when paired with a series of molecular Ni or Fe catalysts. Under optimal conditions, the Cu-purpurin and Cu-gallein photosensitizers exhibit more than 20-fold increases in turnover frequencies for hydrogen evolution when compared with purpurin and gallein. Catalytic systems with the Cu-purpurin chromophore show no decrease in activity over 120 h. Based on electrochemical and fluorescence quenching experiments, the enhancement of photocatalytic activity is likely due to the fact that Cu2+ can facilitate the transfer of electrons from the photosensitizers to the catalysts through creating highly reducing centers.
