AI Article Synopsis

  • - The research discusses a mononuclear cobalt (Co(ii)) cryptate that effectively converts carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide (CO) through photocatalysis.
  • - This process takes place in a solution consisting of water (H2O) and acetonitrile (CH3CN).
  • - Impressive results were achieved, with a turnover number (TON) of 51,392 and a selectivity of 98% for CO production.

Article Abstract

Herein, we report a mononuclear Co(ii) cryptate which exhibits highly efficient and selective photocatalytic CO2-to-CO conversion in H2O/CH3CN solution. The TON and selectivity reach as high as 51 392 and 98%, respectively.
