Synergistic interaction of Re complex and amine functionalized multiple ligands in metal-organic frameworks for conversion of carbon dioxide.

ABSTRACT: A metal-organic framework (MOF) is composed of secondary building units (SBUs) of metal ions and organic ligands to link each SBU. Moreover, the photosynthetic synthesis of a valuable CO chemical from carbon dioxide (CO₂) represents an important class of appealing methods. Herein, we find that a molecular photocatalyst with high selectivity and activity can be designed via a fine balance in the proximity of Re complex (ReI(CO)₃(BPYDC)(Cl), BPYDC = 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylate) and -NH₂ functionalized multiple ligands composing a MOF photocatalyst, denoted as Re-MOF-NH₂. These ligands in Re-MOF-NH₂ has been confirmed by infrared, UV-visible, and ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. Moreover, we show from extended X-ra
