| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The research was conducted for the purpose of developing efficient photocatalytic systems consisting of metal complexes with appropriate catalytic reactivity that enables multi-electron reduction processes induced by the one-photon absorption with the aid of co-catalysis by suppressing hydrogen evolution. Catalytic reduction of CO2 was made possible for selective generation of C1 chemicals inspired by natural photosynthetic reaction systems. Time-resolved spectroscopies, especially sub-nanosecond time resolution, are found to be indispensable to detect the transient species as a key intermediate for revealing the reaction mechanisms of photocatalysis studied in this research. The sustainable and green photocatalytic systems composed of metal complexes have been explored by developing molecular crystalline materials involving flexibility-controllable parts exhibiting photoresponsive dynamic properties.
