Porous Vycor Glass (PVG) impregnated with WO₃ photocatalyzes the conversion of CO₂ to CH₄, but requires ultraviolet light. One avenue of investigation in our laboratories focuses on assembling multicomponent sites within the glass matrix capable of driving this eight-electron reduction with visible light. To this end, we have begun to explore the synthesis of polymetallic complexes that can serve as �molecular delivery systems�. The simplest system is a bimetallic molecule composed of a Ru(II) diimine, that acts as a photoactivated electron transfer reagent, and the catalyst, WO₃. The inability to bind the oxide to the diimine, however, precludes a straightforward reaction. These experiments focus on the synthesis of the bimetallic complex [(bpy)₂RudppW(CO)₄]²⁺ (dpp = 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine), where dpp serves as the electronic bridging ligand that binds these metals together. This presentation descibes the synthesis of W(CO)₄dpp and its reaction with (bpy)₂RuCl₂.
