Multinuclear Transition Metal Complexes for the Photocatalytic Reduction of Carbon Dioxide (B09*)

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This 3MET project synthesizes and characterizes new di- and trinuclear transition metal complexes for artificial photosynthesis, and it evaluate their activity in the photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide. It focusses on multinuclear metal complexes based on earth-abundant metals, such as copper, zinc, iron, cobalt or nickel. It designs bridging ligands by modifying the chelating units and the linker moiety to modulate elec-tronic interactions. It investigates cooperative effects of the metal cores in order to engineer the excited states, the photophysical and the electrochemical properties of the new 3MET complexes.
