title: A polymeric-semiconductor-metal-complex hybrid photocatalyst for visible-light CO(2) reduction.
abstract: A polymeric carbon nitride semiconductor is demonstrated to photocatalyse CO2 reduction to formic acid under visible light (λ > 400 nm) with a high turnover number (>200 for 20 hours) and selectivity (>80%), when coupled with a molecular ruthenium complex as a catalyst.
