A Rhenium‐Functionalized Metal–Organic Framework as a Single‐Site Catalyst for Photochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide

A metal–organic framework (MOF) based on (bpy)Re(CO)3Cl‐containing elongated dicarboxylate ligands and Zr6(µ3‐O)4(µ3‐OH)4 clusters was synthesized and used as an effective single‐site catalyst to photochemically reduce carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide and formate and to provide mechanistic insights into the photocatalytic CO2 reduction process.
