Abstract

Abstract : The Front Cover illustrates the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO by an aniline‐substituted Re‐bipyridine‐type photocatalyst in the presence of a strong electron donor (1, 3‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐2, 3‐dihydro‐1H‐benzo[ d ]‐imidazole=BIH) in N, N ‐dimethylacetamide. This catalyst absorbs visible light intensely compared to related catalysts, and the presence of the aniline moiety has a beneficial effect on the photocatalytic activity.
