Highly efficient photocatalytic reduction of CO2 and H2O to CO and H2 with a cobalt bipyridyl complex

A Co(bpy)2Cl2 catalyst was developed and showed high efficiency and durability for the photocatalytic reduction with yields of CO and H2 as 62.3 and 69.9 µmol corresponding the TONs of 6230 and 6990.107
