| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ruthenium-bipyridyl complexes are excellent catalysts for reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to carbon monoxide (CO) or formic acid (HCOOH) as the two-electron reduction product. We can construct a photochemical CO2 reduction catalytic system by utilizing a photo-sensitizer. Binding the photosensitizing molecule with the catalyst seems to realize an efficient electron transfer system, however there are a few of works on systematically syntheses because of their synthetic difficulties. In this work, we have successfully synthesized novel supramolecular photocatalysts in which these molecules bind together with an artificial peptide.
