Efficient photogeneration of either (CO + H2) simultaneously, or CO selectively, occurs on visible light irradiation of CO2 solutions in (HOCH2CH2)3N–dimethylformamide containing, respectively, Ru(bipy)32+–Co2+ combinations or the single component Re(bipy)(CO)3X (X = Cl, Br) as homogeneous catalysts.
Hawecker et al. (1983) studied this question.
