Promoting photocatalytic CO2 reduction with a molecular copper purpurin chromophore

Designing highly efficient chromophores comprising earth-abundant elements is essential for both light harvesting and electron transfer reactions. Here, authors prepare a copper purpurin complex that shows enhanced photocatalytic activity for CO2 reduction to CO with a high selectivity.
