We developed Ru(ii)-Re(i) supramolecular photocatalysts in which each metal complex unit is connected by a -CH<sub>2</sub>XCH<sub>2</sub>- (X = O, S, CH<sub>2</sub>) chain. The photocatalyst with X = O exhibited the best photocatalytic efficiency for CO<sub>2</sub> reduction in the reported systems using a NAD(P)H model compound as an electron donor because the introduced oxygen atom strengthened the oxidation power of the <b>Ru</b> photosensitizer unit in the excited state and accelerated elect ...[more]
