“…A different approach was taken by Rau and his coworkers. They developed photochemical molecular devices (PMDs) and used them for various reduction reactions [ 125 , 126 , 127 , 128 , 129 , 130 , 131 , 132 , 133 ]. These PMDs consist of three structural units ( Figure 7 ): a photoactive Ru II complex fragment that acts as a light absorber, a catalytic center (in the chosen example, a [Rh III Cp*Cl] moiety, Cp* = C 5 Me 5 ), and a bridging unit that connects the two metals via a conjugated reducible π-electron system [ 129 , 133 ].…”
