Photochemical conversion of CO2 to CO by a Re complex: theoretical insights into the formation of CO and HCO3 - from an experimentally detected monoalkyl carbonate complex.


ABSTRACT: Triethanolamine (TEOA) has been used for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2, and the experimental studies have demonstrated that the TEOA increases the catalytic efficiency. In addition, the formation of a carbonate complex has been confirmed in the Re photocatalytic system where DMF and TEOA are used as solvents. In this study, we survey the reaction pathways of the photocatalytic conversions of CO2 to CO + H2O and CO2 to CO + HCO3 - by fac-Re(bpy)(CO)3Br in the presence of TEOA using density functional theory (DFT) and domain-based local pair natural orbital coupled cluster approach, DLPNO-CCSD(T). Under light irradiation, the solvent-coordinated Re complex is first reduced to form a monoalkyl carbonate
