High-turnover visible-light photoreduction of CO2 by a Re(I) complex stabilized on dye-sensitized TiO2

Hybrid systems prepared by fixing a Re(I) complex and a dye on three types of TiO2 nanoparticles in two different ways commonly revealed persistent photocatalysis of the CO2 reduction to CO with no levelling-off tendency under visible-light irradiation in DMF, giving a turnover number of >= 435.
