Abstract
3d-transition metal complexes have been gaining much attention as promising candidates for photocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction systems. In contrast to the group 7-12 elements, Cr in group 6 has not yet been investigated as the catalyst of CO2 photoreduction because of its intrinsic disadvantages. Cr has a weak reducing ability due to an insufficient number of d electrons and high Lewis acidity which may deactivate the catalyst by strong coordination with a product formate. To overcome these drawbacks, we rationally designed molecular Cr complexes bearing ferrocenyl PNNP tetradentate ligands (FcCrCy, FcCriPr, FcCrtBu, and FcCrPh). These Cr complexes selectively converted CO2 into formic acid (HCO2H) under photocatalytic conditions and, to our knowledge, represent the first molecular Cr catalysts for CO2 photoreduction. The best catalyst FcCrPh achieved a turnover number of 1180 for HCO2H formation with 86% selectivity after 48 h of light irradiation, with a combined use of an organic photosensitizer. Electrochemical and continuous UV-vis absorption analyses clarified the sequential reaction pathways involving multielectron reduction and protonation of a Cr complex. Moreover, through detailed computational studies, photoinduced electron transfer mediated by ferrocenyl groups and intramolecular proton transfer attributed to hemilabile phosphine ligands would be key to the efficient catalysis that overwhelms the inherent disadvantages of Cr.

Abstract
A novel mononuclear Cu(I) complex was synthesized via coordination with a benzoquinoxalin-2'-one-1,2,3-triazole chelating diimine and the bis[(2-diphenylphosphino)phenyl] ether (DPEPhos), to target a new and efficient photosensitizer for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The Cu(I) complex absorbs in the blue-green region of the visible spectrum, with a broad band having a maximum at 475 nm (ϵ =4500 M-1 cm-1), which is assigned to the metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) transition from the Cu(I) to the benzoquinoxalin-2'-one moiety of the diimine. Surprisingly, photo-driven experiments for the CO2 reduction showed that this complex can undergo a photoinduced electron transfer with a sacrificial electron donor and accumulate electrons on the diimine backbone. Photo-driven experiments in a CO2 atmosphere revealed that this complex can not only act as a photosensitizer, when combined with an Fe(III)-porphyrin, but can also selectively produce CO from CO2. Thus, owing to its charge-accumulation properties, the non-innocent benzoquinoxalin-2-one based ligand enabled the development of the first copper(I)-based photocatalyst for CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Herein we studied visible-light-driven CO2 reduction using a series of tetra-phenylporphyrin iron catalysts and inexpensive anthraquinone dyes. Varying the functional groups on the phenyl moieties of the catalysts significantly enhances the photocatalytic activity, achieving an optimal turnover number (TON) of 10 476 and a selectivity of 100% in the noble-metal-free systems. The highest activity found in a bromo-substituted catalyst is attributed to favorable electron transfer from the photosensitizer to the iron porphyrin.

Abstract
1,10-Phenanthroline (phen) is one of the most popular ligands ever used in coordination chemistry due to its strong affinity for a wide range of metals with various oxidation states. Its polyaromatic structure provides robustness and rigidity, leading to intriguing features in numerous fields (luminescent coordination scaffolds, catalysis, supramolecular chemistry, sensors, theranostics, etc.). Importantly, phen offers eight distinct positions for functional groups to be attached, showcasing remarkable versatility for such a simple ligand. As a result, phen has become a landmark molecule for coordination chemists, serving as a must-use ligand and a versatile platform for designing polyfunctional arrays. The extensive use of substituted phenanthroline ligands with different metal ions has resulted in a diverse array of complexes tailored for numerous applications. For instance, these complexes have been utilized as sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells, as luminescent probes modified with antibodies for biomaterials, and in the creation of elegant supramolecular architectures like rotaxanes and catenanes, exemplified by Sauvage's Nobel Prize-winning work in 2016. In summary, phen has found applications in almost every facet of chemistry. An intriguing aspect of phen is the specific reactivity of each pair of carbon atoms ([2,9], [3,8], [4,7], and [5,6]), enabling the functionalization of each pair with different groups and leading to polyfunctional arrays. Furthermore, it is possible to differentiate each position in these pairs, resulting in non-symmetrical systems with tremendous versatility. In this Review, the authors aim to compile and categorize existing synthetic strategies for the stepwise polyfunctionalization of phen in various positions. This comprehensive toolbox will aid coordination chemists in designing virtually any polyfunctional ligand. The survey will encompass seminal work from the 1950s to the present day. The scope of the Review will be limited to 1,10-phenanthroline, excluding ligands with more intracyclic heteroatoms or fused aromatic cycles. Overall, the primary goal of this Review is to highlight both old and recent synthetic strategies that find applicability in the mentioned applications. By doing so, the authors hope to establish a first reference for phenanthroline synthesis, covering all possible positions on the backbone, and hope to inspire all concerned chemists to devise new strategies that have not yet been explored.

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
This study reports on efficient photocatalytic CO2 reduction reactions using mixed catalytic systems of an Fe ion source and various 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives (R1R2p) as ligands in the presence of triethanolamine (TEOA). As the relatively bulky substituents at positions 2 and 9 of R1R2p weakened the ability to coordinate to the Fe ion, the Fe ion formed TEOA complexes. The free R1R2p accepted an electron from the reduced photosensitizer through proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) using protons of TEOA dissolved in a CH3CN solution in a CO2 atmosphere as the initial step of the catalytic cycle. Although the mixed system of the nonsubstituted 1,10-phenanthroline generates a stable tris(phenanthroline)-Fe(II) complex in solution, this complex could not function as a CO2 reduction catalyst. The mechanism in which R1R2p interacts with the Fe ion after PCET was proposed for this efficient photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The proposed photocatalytic system using the 2,9-di-sec-butyl-phenanthroline ligand could produce CO with high efficiency (quantum yield of 8.2%) combined with a dinuclear Cu(I) complex as a photosensitizer.

Abstract
The achievement of photocatalytic CO2 and epoxide cycloaddition under mild conditions such as room temperature and atmospheric pressure is important for green chemistry, which can be achieved by developing coordination synergies between catalysts and photosensitizers. In this context, we exploit the use of coordinate bonds to connect pyridine-appended iridium photosensitizers and catalysts for CO2 cycloaddition, which is systematically demonstrated by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance titration and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic measurements. It is shown that the hybrid Ir(Cltpy)2/Mn2Cd4 photocatalytic system with coordination synergy exhibits excellent catalytic performance (yield ≈ 98.2%), which is 3.75 times higher than that of the comparative Ir(Cltpy-Ph)2/Mn2Cd4 system without coordination synergy (yield ≈ 26.2%), under mild conditions. The coordination between the Mn2Cd4 catalyst and the Ir(Cltpy)2 photosensitizer enhances the light absorption and photoresponse properties of the Mn2Cd4 catalyst. This has been confirmed through transient photocurrent, electrochemical impedance, and electron paramagnetic tests. Consequently, the efficiency of cycloaddition was enhanced by utilizing mild conditions.

Abstract
Three hydrophobic porphyrin titanium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (HPA/DGIST-1, DPA/DGIST-1, and OPA/DGIST-1) were synthesized through a postsynthetic coordination reaction by using alkylphosphonic acid of different lengths (HPA, hexylphosphonic acid; DPA, dodecylphosphonic acid; OPA, octadecylphosphonic acid). Compared with the hydrophilic DGIST-1, modified DGIST-1 exhibits excellent hydrophobicity and presents good stability in humid atmospheres. Due to the introduction of porphyrin ligands, HPA/DGIST-1, DPA/DGIST-1, and OPA/DGIST-1 showed good visible-light absorption (380-700 nm) and sensitive photogenerated charge responses. When acted as catalysts, these hydrophobic Ti-MOFs can selectively reduce CO2 to HCOO- under visible-light irradiation with average reaction rates of 150.9, 178.5, and 228.3 μmol·h-1·g-1, where these values are 1.3-2.0 times higher than the system mediated by the initial porphyrin Ti-MOF catalyst. 13C NMR spectroscopy demonstrates that the catalytic product HCOO- anion originates from the reactant CO2. The photocatalytic experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance, and photoluminescence spectra tests showed that porphyrin ligands and Ti-O units can act as catalytic activity centers to realize the conversion of CO2 to HCOO-. This work demonstrated that the combination of porphyrin titanium-based MOF and alkyl hydrophobic groups is an effective way to enhance the stability of titanium-based MOFs and maintain their high photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Developing efficient catalysts for reducing carbon dioxide, a highly stable combustion waste product, is a relevant task to lower the atmospheric concentration of this greenhouse gas by upcycling. Selectivity towards CO2-reduction products is highly desirable, although it can be challenging to achieve since the metal-hydrides formation is sometimes favored and leads to H2 evolution. In this work, we designed a cobalt-based catalyst, and we present herein its physicochemical properties. Moreover, we tailored a fully earth-abundant photocatalytic system to achieve specifically CO2 reduction, optimizing efficiency and selectivity. By changing the conditions, we enhanced the turnover number (TON) of CO production from only 0.5 to more than 60 and the selectivity from 6% to 97% after four hours of irradiation at 420 nm. Further efficiency enhancement was achieved by adding 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol, producing CO with a TON up to 230, although at the expense of selectivity (54%).

Abstract
Bio-inspired molecular-engineered systems have been extensively investigated for the half-reactions of H2 O oxidation or CO2 reduction with sacrificial electron donors/acceptors. However, there has yet to be reported a device for dye-sensitized molecular photoanodes coupled with molecular photocathodes in an aqueous solution without the use of sacrificial reagents. Herein, we will report the integration of SnIV - or AlIII -tetrapyridylporphyrin (SnTPyP or AlTPyP) decorated tin oxide particles (SnTPyP/SnO2 or AlTPyP/SnO2 ) photoanode with the dye-sensitized molecular photocathode on nickel oxide particles containing [Ru(diimine)3 ]2+ as the light-harvesting unit and [Ru(diimine)(CO)2 Cl2 ] as the catalyst unit covalently connected and fixed within poly-pyrrole layer (RuCAT-RuC2 -PolyPyr-PRu/NiO). The simultaneous irradiation of the two photoelectrodes with visible light resulted in H2 O2 on the anode and CO, HCOOH, and H2 on the cathode with high Faradaic efficiencies in purely aqueous conditions without any applied bias is the first example of artificial photosynthesis with only two-electron redox reactions.

Precious-Metal-Free CO 2 Photoreduction Boosted by Dynamic Coordinative Interaction between Pyridine-Tethered Cu(I) Sensitizers and a Co(II) Catalyst. JACS AU 2023; 3:1984-1997.

Abstract
Improving the photocatalytic efficiency of a fully noble-metal-free system for CO2 reduction remains a fundamental challenge, which can be accomplished by facilitating electron delivery as a consequence of exploiting intermolecular interactions. Herein, we have designed two Cu(I) photosensitizers with different pyridyl pendants at the phenanthroline moiety to enable dynamic coordinative interactions between the sensitizers and a cobalt macrocyclic catalyst. Compared to the parent Cu(I) photosensitizer, one of the pyridine-tethered derivatives boosts the apparent quantum yield up to 76 ± 6% at 425 nm for selective (near 99%) CO2-to-CO conversion. This value is nearly twice that of the parent system with no pyridyl pendants (40 ± 5%) and substantially surpasses the record (57%) of the noble-metal-free systems reported so far. This system also realizes a maximum turnover number of 11 800 ± 1400. In contrast, another Cu(I) photosensitizer, in which the pyridine substituents are directly linked to the phenanthroline moiety, is inactive. The above behavior and photocatalytic mechanism are systematically elucidated by transient fluorescence, transient absorption, transient X-ray absorption spectroscopies, and quantum chemical calculations. This work highlights the advantage of constructing coordinative interactions to fine-tune the electron transfer processes within noble-metal-free systems for CO2 photoreduction.

Abstract
The design of a highly efficient system for CO2 photoreduction fully based on earth-abundant elements presents a challenge, which may be overcome by installing suitable interactions between photosensitizer and catalyst to expedite the intermolecular electron transfer. Herein, we have designed a pyrene-decorated Cu(I) complex with a rare dual emission behavior, aiming at additional π-interaction with a pyrene-appended Co(II) catalyst for visible light-driven CO2-to-CO conversion. The results of 1H NMR titration, time-resolved fluorescence/absorption spectroscopies, quantum chemical simulations, and photocatalytic experiments clearly demonstrate that the dynamic π-π interaction between sensitizer and catalyst is highly advantageous in photocatalysis by accelerating the intermolecular electron transfer rate up to 6.9 × 105 s-1, thus achieving a notable apparent quantum yield of 19% at 425 nm with near-unity selectivity. While comparable to most earth-abundant molecular systems, this value is over three times of the pyrene-free system (6.0%) and far surpassing the benchmarking Ru(II) tris(bipyridine) (0.3%) and Ir(III) tris(2-phenylpyridine) (1.4%) photosensitizers under parallel conditions.

Abstract
A combination of a semiconductor-based photosensitizer with molecular catalysts via covalent bonds is an effective way to utilize solar energy to reduce CO2 into value-added chemicals with high efficiency and selectivity. In this study, 2,2'-bpy-5,5'-dialdehyde functioned as organic ligands and were embedded into the skeleton of g-CN through imine bonds via thermal copolymerization. The introduction of 2,2'-bpy can not only chelate with earth-abundant Co as single-site catalytic centers but also can optimize the properties of original g-CN such as the enlarged specific surface area and extended visible light absorption range. The CO evolution rate of g-CN-bpy-Co can reach up to 106.3 μmol g-1 h-1 with a selectivity of 97% over proton reduction, which was 82-fold than that of g-CN-Co. The different coordination environments and valence states of cobalt were also studied simultaneously and the results showed that Co(II) exhibited superior catalytic activity towards Co(III). Control experiments demonstrated that the covalent linkage between g-CN and Co-2,2'-bpy plays a vital role in photocatalytic activity and selectivity. Besides, the CO generation rate demonstrated linear growth upon visible light irradiation up to 72 h and preferable recyclability. This research provides a new facile way to fabricate low-priced photocatalysts with high activity and selectivity and bridge homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
The discovery and in-depth study of non-biocatalytic applications of active biomolecules are essential for the development of biomimicry. Here, the effect of intermolecular hydrogen-bonding traction on the CO2 photoactivation performance of adenine nucleobase by means of an adenine-containing model system (AMOF-1-4) is uncovered. Remarkably, the hydrogen-bonding schemes around adenines are regularly altered with the increase in the alkyl (methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, and tert-butyl) electron-donating capacity of the coordinated aliphatic carboxylic acids, and thus, lead to a stepwise improvement in CO2 photoreduction activity. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that strong intermolecular hydrogen-bonding traction surrounding adenine can obviously increase the adenine-CO2 interaction energy and, therefore, result in a smoother CO2 activation process. Significantly, this work also provides new inspiration for expanding the application of adenine to more small-molecule catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Redox photosensitisers (PSs) play essential roles in various photocatalytic reactions. Herein, we synthesised new redox PSs of 1 : 1 supramolecules that comprise a ring-shaped Re(i) tetranuclear complex with 4+ charges and a Keggin-type heteropolyoxometalate with 4- charges. These PSs photochemically accumulate multi-electrons in one molecule (three or four electrons) in the presence of an electron donor and can supply electrons with different reduction potentials. PSs were successfully applied in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 using catalysts (Ru(ii) and Re(i) complexes) and triethanolamine as a reductant. In photocatalytic reactions, these supramolecular PSs supply a different number of electrons to the catalyst depending on the redox potential of the intermediate, which is made from the one-electron-reduced species of the catalyst and CO2. Based on these data, information on the reduction potentials of the intermediates was obtained.

Abstract
Exploiting noble-metal-free systems for high-performance photocatalytic CO2 reduction still presents a key challenge, partially due to the long-standing difficulties in developing potent and durable earth-abundant photosensitizers. Therefore, based on the very cheap aluminum metal, we have deployed a systematic series of homoleptic Al(III) photosensitizers featuring 2-pyridylpyrrolide ligands for CO2 photoreduction. The combined studies of steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy as well as quantum chemical calculations demonstrate that in anerobic CH3CN solutions at room temperature, visible-light excitation of the Al(III) photosensitizers leads to an efficient population of singlet excited states with nanosecond-scale lifetimes and notable emission quantum yields (10-40%). The results of transient absorption spectroscopy further identified the presence of emissive singlet and unexpectedly nonemissive triplet excited states. More importantly, the introduction of methyl groups at the pyrrolide rings can greatly improve the visible-light absorption, reducing power, and durability of the Al(III) photosensitizers. With triethanolamine, BIH (1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole), and an Fe(II)-quaterpyridine catalyst, the most methylated Al(III) photosensitizer achieves an apparent quantum efficiency of 2.8% at 450 nm for selective (>99%) CO2-to-CO conversion, which is nearly 28 times that of the unmethylated one (0.1%) under identical conditions. The optimal system realizes a maximum turnover number of 10250 and higher robustness than the systems with Ru(II) and Cu(I) benchmark photosensitizers. Quenching experiments using fluorescence spectroscopy elucidate that the photoinduced electron transfer in the Al(III)-sensitized system follows a reductive quenching pathway. The remarkable tunability and cost efficiency of these Al(III) photosensitizers should allow them as promising components in noble-metal-free systems for solar fuel conversion.

Abstract
The innovation of a highly efficient and inexpensive graphene oxide-based photocatalyst is a challenging task for selective solar chemical regeneration/coenzyme such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). Herein, we have designed lemon-juice derived highly efficient S-GQD/GO composite as a photocatalyst for regeneration of NADH under solar light. The rational design of a highly efficient photocatalytic system through the orientation of S-GQD on graphene oxide as solar light harvesting photocatalyst is explored for the first time for NADH regeneration. This highly solar light active S-GQD/GO composite photocatalyst upon integration with the NAD + is used for highly regioselective regeneration of coenzyme (76.36%). The present work provides the benchmark instances of graphene oxide-based material as a photocatalyst for selective regeneration of NADH under solar light and opens a new door for green synthesis.

Abstract
Photocatalyzed and photosensitized chemical processes have seen growing interest recently and have become among the most active areas of chemical research, notably due to their applications in fields such as medicine, chemical synthesis, material science or environmental chemistry. Among all homogeneous catalytic systems reported to date, photoactive copper(I) complexes have been shown to be especially attractive, not only as alternative to noble metal complexes, and have been extensively studied and utilized recently. They are at the core of this review article which is divided into two main sections. The first one focuses on an exhaustive and comprehensive overview of the structural, photophysical and electrochemical properties of mononuclear copper(I) complexes, typical examples highlighting the most critical structural parameters and their impact on the properties being presented to enlighten future design of photoactive copper(I) complexes. The second section is devoted to their main areas of application (photoredox catalysis of organic reactions and polymerization, hydrogen production, photoreduction of carbon dioxide and dye-sensitized solar cells), illustrating their progression from early systems to the current state-of-the-art and showcasing how some limitations of photoactive copper(I) complexes can be overcome with their high versatility.

Abstract
A carbazolide-bis(NHC) NiII catalyst (1; NHC, N-heterocyclic carbene) for selective CO2 photoreduction was designed herein by a one-stone-two-birds strategy. The extended π-conjugation and the strong σ/π electron-donation characteristics (two birds) of the carbazolide fragment (one stone) lead to significantly enhanced activity for photoreduction of CO2 to CO. The turnover number (TON) and turnover frequency (TOF) of 1 were ninefold and eightfold higher than those of the reported pyridinol-bis(NHC) NiII complex at the same catalyst concentration using an identical Ir photosensitizer, respectively, with a selectivity of ∼100%. More importantly, an organic dye was applied to displace the Ir photosensitizer to develop a noble-metal-free photocatalytic system, which maintained excellent performance and obtained an outstanding quantum yield of 11.2%. Detailed investigations combining experimental and computational studies revealed the catalytic mechanism, which highlights the potential of the one-stone-two-birds effect.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis (AP) has been extensively applied in energy conversion and environment pollutants treatment. Considering the urgent demand for clean energy for human society, many researchers have endeavored to develop materials for AP. Among the materials for AP, photosensitizers play a critical role in light absorption and charge separation. Due to the fact of their excellent tunability and performance, metal-based complexes stand out from many photocatalysis photosensitizers. In this review, the evaluation parameters for photosensitizers are first summarized and then the recent developments in molecular photosensitizers based on transition metal complexes are presented. The photosensitizers in this review are divided into two categories: noble-metal-based and noble-metal-free complexes. The subcategories for each type of photosensitizer in this review are organized by element, focusing first on ruthenium, iridium, and rhenium and then on manganese, iron, and copper. Various examples of recently developed photosensitizers are also presented.

Abstract
The sunlight-driven reduction of CO2 into carbonaceous fuels can lower the atmospheric CO2 concentration and provide renewable energy simultaneously, attracting scientists to design photocatalytic systems for facilitating this process. Significant progress has been made in designing high-performance photosensitizers and catalysts in this regard, and further improvement can be realized by installing additional interactions between the abovementioned two components, however, the design strategies and mechanistic investigations on such interactions remain challenging. Here, we present the construction of molecular models for intermolecular π-π interactions between the photosensitizer and the catalyst, via the introduction of pyrene groups into both molecular components. The presence, types, and strengths of diverse π-π interactions, as well as their roles in the photocatalytic mechanism, have been examined by 1H NMR titration, fluorescence quenching measurements, transient absorption spectroscopy, and quantum chemical simulations. We have also explored the rare dual emission behavior of the pyrene-appended iridium photosensitizer, of which the excited state can deliver the photo-excited electron to the pyrene-decorated cobalt catalyst at a fast rate of 2.60 × 106 s-1 via co-facial π-π interaction, enabling a remarkable apparent quantum efficiency of 14.3 ± 0.8% at 425 nm and a high selectivity of 98% for the photocatalytic CO2-to-CO conversion. This research demonstrates non-covalent interaction construction as an effective strategy to achieve rapid CO2 photoreduction besides a conventional photosensitizer/catalyst design.

Abstract
Driven by the great potential of solar energy conversion this study comprises the evaluation and comparison of two different design approaches for the improvement of copper based photosensitizers. In particular, the distinction between the effects of a covalently linked and a directly fused naphthalimide unit was assessed. For this purpose, the two heteroleptic Cu(I) complexes CuNIphen (NIphen = 5-(1,8-naphthalimide)-1,10-phenanthroline) and Cubiipo (biipo = 16H-benzo-[4′,5′]-isoquinolino-[2′,1′,:1,2]-imidazo-[4,5-f]-[1,10]-phenanthroline-16-one) were prepared and compared with the novel unsubstituted reference compound Cuphen (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline). Beside a comprehensive structural characterization, including two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and X-ray analysis, a combination of electrochemistry, steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy was used to determine the electrochemical and photophysical properties in detail. The nature of the excited states was further examined by (time-dependent) density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. It was found that CuNIphen exhibits a greatly enhanced absorption in the visible and a strong dependency of the excited state lifetimes on the chosen solvent. For example, the lifetime of CuNIphen extends from 0.37 µs in CH2Cl2 to 19.24 µs in MeCN, while it decreases from 128.39 to 2.6 µs in Cubiipo. Furthermore, CuNIphen has an exceptional photostability, allowing for an efficient and repetitive production of singlet oxygen with quantum yields of about 32%.

Abstract
![]()
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction is a critical objective
in the field of artificial photosynthesis because it can potentially
make a total solution for global warming and shortage of energy and
carbon resources. We have successfully developed various highly efficient,
stable, and selective photocatalytic systems for CO2 reduction
using transition metal complexes as both photosensitizers and catalysts.
The molecular architectures for constructing selective and efficient
photocatalytic systems for CO2 reduction are discussed
herein. As a typical example, a mixed system of a ring-shaped Re(I)
trinuclear complex as a photosensitizer and fac-[Re(bpy)(CO)3{OC2H4N(C2H4OH)2}] as a catalyst selectively photocatalyzed CO2 reduction to CO with the highest quantum yield of 82% and a turnover
number (TON) of over 600. Not only rare and noble metals but also
earth abundant ones, such as Mn(I), Cu(I), and Fe(II) can be used
as central metal cations. In the case using a Cu(I) dinuclear complex
as a photosensitizer and fac-Mn(bpy)(CO)3Br as a catalyst, the total formation quantum yield of CO and HCOOH
from CO2 was 57% and TONCO+HCOOH exceeded 1300. Efficient supramolecular photocatalysts for CO2 reduction,
in which photosensitizer and catalyst units are connected through
a bridging ligand, were developed for removing a diffusion control
on collisions between a photosensitizer and a catalyst. Supramolecular
photocatalysts, in which [Ru(N∧N)3]2+-type photosensitizer and Re(I) or Ru(II) catalyst units
are connected to each other with an alkyl chain, efficiently and selectively
photocatalyzed CO2 reduction in solutions. Mechanistic
studies using time-resolved IR and electrochemical measurements provided
molecular architecture for constructing efficient supramolecular photocatalysts.
A Ru(II)–Re(I) supramolecular photocatalyst constructed according
to this molecular architecture efficiently photocatalyzed CO2 reduction even when it was fixed on solid materials. Harnessing
this property of the supramolecular photocatalysts, two types of hybrid
photocatalytic systems were developed, namely, photocatalysts with
light-harvesting capabilities and photoelectrochemical systems for
CO2 reduction. Introduction of light-harvesting capabilities
into molecular photocatalytic
systems should be important because the intensity of solar light shone
on the earth’s surface is relatively low. Periodic mesoporous
organosilica, in which methyl acridone groups are embedded in the
silica framework as light harvesters, was combined with a Ru(II)–Re(I)
supramolecular photocatalyst with phosphonic acid anchoring groups.
In this hybrid, the photons absorbed by approximately 40 methyl acridone
groups were transferred to one Ru(II) photosensitizer unit, and then,
the photocatalytic CO2 reduction commenced. To use
water as an abundant electron donor, we developed hybrid
photocatalytic systems combining metal-complex photocatalysts with
semiconductor photocatalysts that display high photooxidation powers,
in which two photons are sequentially absorbed by the metal-complex
photosensitizer and the semiconductor, resulting in both high oxidation
and reduction power. Various types of dye-sensitized molecular photocathodes
comprising the p-type semiconductor electrodes and the supramolecular
photocatalysts were developed. Full photoelectrochemical cells combining
these dye-sensitized molecular photocathodes and n-type semiconductor
photoanodes achieved CO2 reduction using only visible light
as the energy source and water as the reductant. Drastic improvement
of dye-sensitized molecular photocathodes is reported. The results
presented in this Account clearly indicate that we
can construct very efficient, selective, and durable photocatalytic
systems constructed with the metal-complex photosensitizers and catalysts.
The supramolecular-photocatalyst architecture in which the photosensitizer
and the catalyst are connected to each other is useful especially
on the surface of solid owing to rapid electron transfer from the
photosensitizer to the catalyst. On basis of these findings, we successfully
constructed hybrid systems of the supramolecular photocatalysts with
photoactive solid materials. These hybridizations can add new functions
to the metal-complex photocatalytic systems, such as water oxidation
and light harvesting.

Abstract
Three noble metal-free metal complexes [Fe(Me-bzimpy)2]2+ (Fe1), [Fe(bzimpy)2]2+ (Fe2) and [Zn(Me-bzimpy)2]2+ (Zn1) were synthesized and studied in the visible light-driven CO2 reduction, where ligands bzimpy and Me-bzimpy were 2,6-bis(1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)pyridine and 2,6-bis(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)pyridine, respectively. It was found that Fe1 displayed the best photocatalytic performance with a turnover number (TON) of 878 and high selectivity up to 99.2% towards CO generation in the presence of an organic thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) photosensitizer, which was more than 10 times that of Fe2 (TONCO = 63) and Zn1 (TONCO = 53). This is attributed to the much higher stability of Fe1 upon reduction, as proved by the cyclic voltammograms of the three complexes. These results highlight the cooperation of ligands and metals in molecular metal complexes for CO2 photoreduction.

Abstract
A series of heteroleptic [Cu(N^N)(P^P)][PF6] complexes is reported in which N^N is a di(methylsulfanyl)-1,10-phenanthroline (2,9-, 3,8- or 4,7-(MeS)2phen) or di(methoxy)-1,10-phenanthroline (2,9-, 3,8- or 4,7-(MeO)2phen) and P^P is bis(2-(diphenylphosphano)phenyl)ether (POP) or 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphano)-9,9-dimethylxanthene (xantphos). The effects of the different substituents are investigated through structural, electrochemical and photophysical studies and by using DFT and TD-DFT calculations. Introducing methylsulfanyl groups in the 2,9-, 3,8- or 4,7-positions of the phen domain alters the composition of the frontier molecular orbitals of the [Cu(N^N)(P^P)]+ complexes significantly, so that ligand-centred (LC) transitions become photophysically relevant with respect to metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT). Within this series, [Cu(2,9-(MeS)2phen)(POP)][PF6] exhibits the highest photoluminescence quantum yield of 15% and the longest excited-state lifetime of 8.3 μs in solution. In the solid state and in frozen matrices at 77 K, the electronic effects of the methylsulfanyl or methoxy substituents are highlighted, thus resulting in luminescence lifetimes of 2 to 4.2 ms at 77 K with predominantly LC character for both the 3,8- and 4,7-(MeS)2phen containing complexes. The results of the investigation give new guidelines on how to influence the luminescence properties in [Cu(N^N)(P^P)]+ complexes which will aid in the development of new sustainable and efficient copper(i) emitters.

Abstract
A bis(pyridyl)amine-bipyridine-iron(II) framework (Fe(BPAbipy)) of complexes 1-3 is reported to shed light on the multistep nature of CO2 reduction. Herein, photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to CO even at low CO2 concentration (1 %), together with detailed mechanistic study and DFT calculations, reveal that 1 first undergoes two sequential one-electron transfer affording an intermediate with electron density on both Fe and ligand for CO2 binding over proton. The following 2 H+ -assisted Fe-CO formation is rate-determining for selective CO2 -to-CO reduction. A pendant, proton-shuttling α-OH group (2) initiates PCET for predominant H2 evolution, while an α-OMe group (3) cancels the selectivity control for either CO or H2 . The near-unity selectivity of 1 and 2 enables self-sorting syngas production at flexible CO/H2 ratios. The unprecedented results from one kind of molecular catalyst skeleton encourage insight into the beauty of advanced multi-electron and multi-proton transfer processes for robust CO2 RR by photocatalysis.

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.

Abstract
Cyclobutanols are privileged cyclic skeletons in natural products and synthetic building blocks. C(sp3)-H functionalization is a prolonged challenge in organic synthesis. The synthesis of cyclobutanols through double C(sp3)-H bond functionalization remains elusive. Here we report the efficient synthesis of cyclobutanols through intermolecular radical [3 + 1] cascade cyclization, involving the functionalization of two C - H bonds through sequential hydrogen atom transfer. The copper complex reduces the iodomethylsilyl alcohols efficiently under blue-light irradiation to initiate the tandem transformation. The mild reaction tolerates a broad range of functional groups and allows for the facile generation of elaborate polycyclic structures.

Abstract
Chemical and spectroscopic characterization of the mononuclear photosensitizers [(DPEPhos)Cu(I)(MPyrT)]0/+ (CuL, CuLH) and their dinuclear analogues (Cu2 L', Cu2 L'H2 ), backed by (TD)DFT and high-level GW-Bethe-Salpeter equation calculations, exemplifies the complex influence of charge, nuclearity and structural flexibility on UV-induced photophysical pathways. Ultrafast transient absorption and step-scan FTIR spectroscopy reveal flattening distortion in the triplet state of CuLH as controlled by charge, which also appears to have a large impact on the symmetry of the long-lived triplet states in Cu2 L' and Cu2 L'H2 . Time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy (solid state), supported by transient photodissociation spectroscopy (gas phase), confirm a lifetime of some tens of μs for the respective triplet states, as well as the energetics of thermally activated delayed luminescence, both being essential parameters for application of these materials based on earth-abundant copper in photocatalysis and luminescent devices.

Abstract
The activity of photocatalytic CO2 conversion to carbon-containing products is determined by the adsorption and activation of CO2 molecules on the surface of catalyst. Here, iron doped porous CeO2 with oxygen vacancy (PFeCe) was prepared by one-step combustion method. The amount of CO2 adsorbed via using the porous structure has been significantly increased in the case of a relatively small specific surface area and CO2 molecules are more easily captured and undergo a reduction reaction with photoinduced carriers. In addition, oxygen vacancies are formed in the iron doped CeO2 lattice as the active sites for CO2 reduction, which can form strong interactions with CO2 molecules, thereby effectively activating CO2 molecules. The reduction products of CO2 over PFeCe composite are CO and CH4, which is approximately 9.0 and 7.7 folds than that of CeO2. This work offers insights for the construction of efficient ceria-based photocatalysts to further achieve robust solar CO2 conversion.

Abstract
The synthesis of a specific Sn plane as an efficient electrocatalyst for CO2 electrochemical reduction to generate fuels and chemicals is still a huge challenge. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations first reveal that the Sn(101) crystal plane is more advantageous for CO2 electroreduction. A metal-organic framework (MOF) precursor Sn-MOF has been carbonized and then etched to successfully fabricate Sn(101)/SnO2/C composites with good control of the carbonization time and the concentration of hydrochloric acid. The Sn(101) crystal plane of the catalyst could enhance the faradaic efficiency of formate to as high as 93.3% and catalytic stability up to 20 h. The promotion of the selectivity and activity by Sn(101) advances new possibilities for the rational design of high-activity Sn catalysts derived from MOFs.
