Earth-abundant Zn-dipyrrin chromophores for efficient CO2 photoreduction

The development of strong sensitizing and Earth-abundant antenna molecules is highly desirable for CO2 reduction through artificial photosynthesis.Herein,a library of Zn-dipyrrin complexes(Z-1-Z-6)are rationally designed via precisely controlling their molecular configuration to optimize strong sensitizing Earth-abundant photosensitizers.Upon visible-light excitation,their special geometry enables intramolecular charge transfer to induce a charge-transfer state,which was first demonstrated to accept electrons from electron donors.The resulting long-lived reduced photosensitizer was confirmed to trigger consecutive intermolecular electron transfers for boosting CO2-to-CO conversion.Remarkably,the Earth-abundant catalytic system with Z-6 and Fe-catalyst exhibits outstanding performance with a turnover number of>20 000 and 29.7%quantum yield,representing excellent catalytic performance among the molecular catalytic systems and highly superior to that of noble-metal photosensitizer Ir(ppy)2(bpy)+under similar conditions.Experimental and theoretical investigations comprehensively unveil the structure-activity relationship,opening up a new horizon for the development of Earth-abundant strong sensitizing chromophores for boosting artificial photosynthesis.
