A Ru(II)-Re(I) supramol. photocatalyst and a Ru(II) redox photosensitizer were both deposited successfully on a NiO electrode by using Me phosphonic acid anchoring groups and the electrochem. polymerization of the ligand vinyl groups of the complexes. This new mol. photocathode, poly-RuRe/NiO, adsorbed a larger amount of the metal complexes compared to one using only Me phosphonic acid anchor groups, and the stability of the complexes on the NiO electrode were much improved. The poly-RuRe/NiO acted as a photocathode for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 at E = -0.7 V vs. Ag/AgCl under visible-light irradiation in an aqueous solution The poly-RuRe/NiO produced ∼2.5 times more CO, and its total faradaic efficiency of the reduction products improved from 57 to 85%. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 1134-35-6SDS of cas: 1134-35-6)
4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 1134-35-6) is used in the synthesis of a series of o-phenanthroline-substituted ruthenium(II) complexes.SDS of cas: 1134-35-6 Furthermore, 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine is used as a chemical Intermediate. It can be used for the determination of ferrous and cyanide compounds.
