Researchers have developed [Ru(bpy)(2)](2+)-grafted UiO-66-bpydc Ce-MOF for visible light-driven C-C bond formation to selectively produce C2-based liquid fuel from CO2. The fast electron transfer and the accommodation of two CO2 molecules in the proximal defect-site contribute to facile C-C bond formation, resulting in the production of acetic acid with high selectivity in water.
Visible light-driven C-C bond formation to produce C2-based liquid fuel selectively from CO2 is of great interest and remains a challenging task due to uphill electron transfer kinetics. Herein, we have developed [Ru(bpy)(2)](2+)-grafted UiO-66-bpydc Ce-MOF via post-synthetic modification to harvest visible light based on MLCT (Ru-d pi(II) -> pi(*)(bpy)) transition. The employment of Ru-grafted Ce-MOF facilitates fast electron transfer due to the vacant low-lying 4f orbital of Ce-IV, which was realized from ultrafast transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy, XANES, and in situ UV-vis spectroscopy. The synergistic effect of facile electron transfer and concomitant accommodation of two CO2 molecules in the proximal defect-site in Ce-IV leads to facile C-C bond formation via COOH* coupling to yield acetic acid. The catalytic assembly produces 1133 mu mol g(-1) of acetic acid with an impressive rate of 128 mu mol g(-1) h(-1), suppressing the formation of other C1-based carbonaceous products in water (with selectivity 99.5%, apparent quantum yield (AQY) = 0.93%). A detailed DFT calculation has been performed to understand the mechanistic pathway of C-C bond formation, and the generation of different surface-adsorbed intermediates was further supported by in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy.
