Redox photosensitisers (PSs) play essential roles in various photocatalytic reactions. Herein, we synthesised new redox PSs of 1 : 1 supramolecules that comprise a ring-shaped Re(i) tetranuclear complex with 4+ charges and a Keggin-type heteropolyoxometalate with 4- charges. These PSs photochemically accumulate multi-electrons in one molecule (three or four electrons) in the presence of an electron donor and can supply electrons with different reduction potentials. PSs were successfully applied in the photocatalytic reduction of CO using catalysts (Ru(ii) and Re(i) complexes) and triethanolamine as a reductant. In photocatalytic reactions, these supramolecular PSs supply a different number of electrons to the catalyst depending on the redox potential of the intermediate, which is made from the one-electron-reduced species of the catalyst and CO. Based on these data, information on the reduction potentials of the intermediates was obtained.
氧化还原光敏剂(PSs)在各种光催化反应中起着至关重要的作用。在此,我们合成了新型1:1超分子氧化还原PSs,其由带4个正电荷的环状铼(I)四核配合物和带4个负电荷的Keggin型杂多金属氧酸盐组成。这些PSs在电子供体存在的情况下能在一个分子中光化学积累多个电子(三个或四个电子),并能提供具有不同还原电位的电子。PSs已成功应用于使用催化剂(钌(II)和铼(I)配合物)和三乙醇胺作为还原剂的光催化还原CO反应中。在光催化反应中,这些超分子PSs根据由催化剂的单电子还原物种和CO形成的中间体的氧化还原电位,向催化剂提供不同数量的电子。基于这些数据,获得了中间体还原电位的信息。
