Abstract
Immobilization of Re(I) CO 2 reduction photocatalysts on metal oxide surfaces is an interesting approach to improve their stability and recyclability. In this work, we describe the photocatalytic activity of two Re(I) complexes (fac-[Re(NN)(CO) 3(Cl)], NN = 4,4'-dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridine, 1, or 5,6-dione-1,10-phenantroline, 2) on the surface of hexaniobate nanoscrolls. After adsorption, the turnover number for CO production (TON CO) in DMF/TEOA of 1 was increased from 9 to 58, which is 20% higher than that observed on TiO 2, being among the highest reported values for a Re(I)-based photocatalyst under visible light irradiation without any sensitizer. The complex 2 is inactive in solution under visible-light irradiation, but it has a TON CO of 35 when immobilized on hexaniobate nanoscrolls. Transient absorption spectroscopy studies reveal that the slow back-electron transfer and the higher reducing power of the hexaniobate conduction-band electrons play a major role for the photocatalytic process. The results provide new insights concerning the role of the metal oxide substrate on Re(I)-based molecular systems for CO 2 reduction.
