Using low-energy photons in light-driven reactions is an effective strategy for improving the efficiency of solar energy conversion but molecular systems that mimic such function are extremely rare in non-noble-metal catalysis. Here the authors report fluorinated chlorins as chromophores for CO2 reduction, which catalytically produce CO under both 630 nm and 730 nm light irradiation.
