DESCRIPTION:Dr. Hitoshi ISHIDA\, Department of Chemistry\, School of Scien
 ce\, Kitasato University\, Kanagawa \,Japan\nRuthenium-bipyridyl complexes
  have attracted much attention for their photo-functional properties: phot
 o-luminescence\, photo-sensitization\, or photo-catalytic ability. We have
  designed the peptides in which 5’-amino-2\,2’-bipyridyl-5-carboxylic 
 acid (5Bpy) as an unnatural amino acid is incorporated\, and have further 
 synthesized the ruthenium-peptide complexes. The ruthenium complex with th
 e peptide containing three residues of 5Bpy has been synthesized for the f
 irst time\, and has been named as “Peptide Origami”. We have also desi
 gned and synthesized the ruthenium-peptide complexes for the photo-catalyt
 ic CO2 reduction. In this lecture\, the mechanisms of the photochemical CO
 2 reduction by the ruthenium complexes and the design of the novel rutheni
 um-peptide complexes for the efficient catalysts will be described.
