Abstract

The synthesis and photodecomposition behaviour of a family of CO releasing molecules (CORMs) based on [Mn(CO)3bpy] derivatives connected to a semiconductor Quantum Dot (QD) sensitizer is described here. Compared to the non-sensitized complexes, such systems show a 2 to 6-fold increase of the photodecomposition rate upon irradiation with visible light.
