Abstract :
A form of polymer materials, usually synthesized by the complexation of metal ions with ditopic organic ligands are receiving much attentions these days due to their widespread applications particularly in energy storage and photocatalytic reduction of CO2. However, the most efficient photocatalytic systems consist of 2nd or 3rd row transition metal complexes, usually those of d6 ruthenium (II) or iridium (III). Although, these complexes are characterized by long-lived metal to ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited state and have a very negative reduction potential, the design of catalysts based on these rare precious transition metals presents a crucial economic limitation to their widespread usage. Here, we alternatively think of synthesizing complexes which utilize cheaper and, more abundant metals which are comparable with or even surpass in terms of some remarkable features to promotes a bi
