Photochemical carbon dioxide reduction catalyzed by bis (2, 2'-bipyridine) dicarbonylruthenium (2+) using triethanolamine and 1-benzyl-1, 4-dihydronicotinamide as …
Irradiation with visible light of a C02-saturated triethanolamine (TE0A) lN. N- dimethylformamide (DMF) solution (1: 4 v/v) containing [R~(bpy)~]~+ and [R~(bpy),(C0)~]*+(bpy= 2, 2'-bipyridine) selectively produced HCOO-with a maximum quantum yield of 14%. On the other hand, the photochemical C 0 2 reduction in COz- saturated HzO/DMF (1: 9 v/v) containing [R~(bpy)~]~',[R~(bpy),(CO)~ l~~, and I-benzyl-l, 4- ...
