Controlling photocatalytic reduction of CO2 in Ru(ii)/Re(i) dyads via linker oxidation state†
Abstract
Electronic communication between the linked metal centers in Ru(II)–Re(I) dyads is tuned using the oxidation state (S and SO2) of sulfur-bridged ligands. Higher catalytic activity is seen for the SO2-bridged dyad in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2.
