Photocatalytic Activity of Carbon Nitride Modified with a Ruthenium(II) Complex Having Carboxylic- or Phosphonic Acid Anchoring Groups for Visible-light CO2 Reduction
Semiconducting C3N4 powder modified with a catalytic Ru(II) complex having carboxylic acid groups as anchors showed higher activity for CO2 reduction into HCOOH under visible light (lambda > 400 nm) at the initial stage of the reaction, whereas an analogue anchored with phosphonic acid groups exhibited higher stability.
