Cis-[Co^sup II^(MPCA)X^sub 2^] (X = Cl or Br) complexes as catalyst exhibiting different activity for visible light induced photocatalytic CO^sub 2^-to-CO conversion

Two cobalt complexes, cis-[CoII(MPCA)Cl2] (C1) and cis-[CoII(MPCA)Br2] (C2) (MPCA = N, N’-dimethyl-N, N’-bis(2-pyridinylmethyl)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine), were synthesized as catalysts for visible light induced photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The two complexes adopt cis-octahedral coordination geometry...
