Outline of Final Research Achievements

We carried out this research project with the aim of creating electro- and photo-chemically renewable hydride source as a key strategy for carbon dioxide reduction using natural energy. As a result, we successfully synthesized a ruthenium complex baring 1,5-phenanthroline ligand which is expected to act as strong hydride donor when it is reduced. And photochemical reduction of 1,5-phenanthroline ligand on the ruthenium complex to 4,5-dihydro-1,5-phenanthroline which is expected to have high hydride donor ability was revealed.
