Overall reaction mechanism of photocatalytic CO₂ reduction on a Re(i)-complex catalyst unit of a Ru(ii)-Re(i) supramolecular photocatalyst.

ABSTRACT: Rhenium(i) complexes fac-[Re^I(diimine)(CO)₃(L)]ⁿ⁺ are mostly used and evaluated as photocatalysts and catalysts in both photochemical and electrochemical systems for CO₂ reduction. However, the selective reduction mechanism of CO₂ to CO is unclear, although numerous mechanistic studies have been reported. A Ru(ii)-Re(i) supramolecular photocatalyst with fac-[Re^I(diimine)(CO)₃{OC(O)OCH₂CH₂NR₂}] (R = C₂H₄OH) as a catalyst unit (RuC2Re) exhibits very high efficiency, selectivity, and durability of CO formation in photocatalytic CO₂ reduction reactions. In this work, the reaction mechanism of photocatalytic CO₂ reduction
