Abstract
Heterogenized molecular catalysts have shown interesting activities in different chemical transformations. In our previous studies, a molecular catalyst, Re(bpy)(CO)3Cl where bpy is 2,2'-bipyridine, was covalently attached to silica surfaces via an amide linkage for use in photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Derivatizing the bpy ligand with electron-withdrawing amide groups led to detrimental effects on the catalytic activity of Re(bpy)(CO)3Cl. In this study, an alkyl amine linkage is utilized to attach Re(bpy)(CO)3Cl onto SiO2 in order to eliminate the detrimental effects of the amide linkage by breaking the conjugation between the bpy ligand and the amide group. However, the heterogenized Re(I) catalyst containing the alkyl amine linkage demonstrates even lower activity than the one containing the amide linkage in photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Infrared studies suggest that the presence of the basic amine group led to the formation of a photocatalytically inactive Re(I)-OH species on SiO2. Furthermore, the amine group likely contributes to the stabilization of a surface Re(I)-carboxylato species formed upon light irradiation, resulting in the low activity of the heterogenized Re(I) catalyst containing the alkyl amine linkage.

Abstract
In this work, the impacts of triethanolamine (TEOA) on the performance of photochemical CO2 reduction were investigated in a simple homogeneous system. We demonstrates that CO2 can be converted into CO coupling with the decomposition of triethanolamine in TEOA aqueous solution without other additives under light irradiation. About 7.5 μmol CO product is achieved within 7 h with a maximum apparent quantum yield (AQY) of 0.086% at 254 nm. The isotope labelling experiment confirms that CO product originates from the reduction of CO2 rather than the decomposition of TEOA. In addition, the photochemical system exhibits excellent stability, no obvious inactivation is observed during long-term photochemical CO2 reduction reaction. This work provides a deep understanding of the effects of TEOA on the performance of photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Upon utilizing TEOA as a sacrificial electron donor in photocatalytic system, the contribution of TEOA must be considered once evaluating the catalytic activity of catalysts.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction into C1 products is one of the most trending research subjects of current times as sustainable energy generation is the utmost need of the hour. In this review, we have tried to comprehensively summarize the potential of supramolecule-based photocatalysts for CO2 reduction into C1 compounds. At the outset, we have thrown light on the inert nature of gaseous CO2 and the various challenges researchers are facing in its reduction. The evolution of photocatalysts used for CO2 reduction, from heterogeneous catalysis to supramolecule-based molecular catalysis, and subsequent semiconductor-supramolecule hybrid catalysis has been thoroughly discussed. Since CO2 is thermodynamically a very stable molecule, a huge reduction potential is required to undergo its one- or multielectron reduction. For this reason, various supramolecule photocatalysts were designed involving a photosensitizer unit and a catalyst unit connected by a linker. Later on, solid semiconductor support was also introduced in this supramolecule system to achieve enhanced durability, structural compactness, enhanced charge mobility, and extra overpotential for CO2 reduction. Reticular chemistry is seen to play a pivotal role as it allows bringing all of the positive features together from various components of this hybrid semiconductor-supramolecule photocatalyst system. Thus, here in this review, we have discussed the selection and role of various components, viz. the photosensitizer component, the catalyst component, the linker, the semiconductor support, the anchoring ligands, and the peripheral ligands for the design of highly performing CO2 reduction photocatalysts. The selection and role of various sacrificial electron donors have also been highlighted. This review is aimed to help researchers reach an understanding that may translate into the development of excellent CO2 reduction photocatalysts that are operational under visible light and possess superior activity, efficiency, and selectivity.
