Storage of CO2 as carbonates is a strategy for its reductive activation. Carbonates are reduced at pH 5.5–7.5 with photoexcited TiO2. EPR is convenient for detecting reaction intermediates.

Photoredox reactions occurring in irradiated methanolic solutions of trans-[FeIII(R,R'-salen)(CH3OH)I], where R,R'-salen2- are N,N'-ethylenebis(R,R'-salicylideneiminato), tetradentate open-chain N2O2-Schiff bases with R,R' = H, 5-Cl, 5-Br, 3,5-di-Br, 3,5-di-(CH3), 3-OCH3, 5-OCH3, have been investigated and their mechanism proposed. The complexes are redox-stable in the dark. Ultraviolet and/or visible irradiation of methanolic solution of the complexes induces photoreduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II). Depending on the composition of the irradiated solutions, •CH2OH radicals or solvated electrons were identified by the EPR spin trapping technique. The final product of the photooxidation coupled with the photoreduction of Fe(III) is formaldehyde and the molar ratio of Fe(II) and CH2O is close to 2 : 1. The efficiency of the photoredox process is strongly wavelength-dependent and influenced by the peripheral groups R,R' of the tetradentate ligands.
