To evaluate the efficacy of a Ru(II)–Re(I) supramolecular photocatalyst for visible-light-driven carbon dioxide reduction directly in an aqueous solution.
Tested a supramolecular complex containing ruthenium(II) and rhenium(I) centers for catalytic reduction of CO2 under visible-light irradiation.
Used a specialized water-soluble electron donor, BI(CO2−)H, to sustain the photocatalytic reaction and assess system performance in water.
The Ru(II)–Re(I) supramolecular photocatalyst drove conversion of CO2 into CO in an aqueous environment.
The water-soluble reductant BI(CO2−)H effectively supported electron transfer, serving as an effective benchmark donor for evaluating aqueous photocatalytic systems.
