Metal-Organic REagents for Light-Enabled Shuttling of protons and electrons
Protons and electrons are the currency of energy conversion and play a key role in some of the most transformative technologies such as the reduction of N2, CO or CO2. Exploiting water and sunlight as renewable resources for these transformations offers a means for solar-to-chemicals conversion. Thus, our ability to control the transfer of protons and electrons preventing the more favourable formation of H2 poses an exciting fundamental problem. Strategies based on proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) have demonstrated key benefits by providing low energy pathways that bypass the most energetic, charged intermediates. However, important problems remain regarding the development of PCET…
