This work demonstrates photocatalytic CO2 reduction by a noble-metal-free photosensitizer-catalyst system in aqueous solution under red-light irradiation. A water-soluble Mn(I) tricarbonyl diimine complex, [MnBr(4,4'-{Et2O3PCH2}2-2,2'-bipyridyl)(CO)3] (1), has been fully characterized, including single-crystal X-ray crystallography, and shown to re...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) and Environmental risk assessment (ERA) are highly complementary; several studies have attempted to bridge the two approaches by means of integration for a more comprehensive assessment of environmental impacts. This paper reviews existing studies on LCA and ERA integration to establish an understanding of the benefits a...

... [1][2][3] Thienyl-substituted porphyrins have applications in areas such as CO 2 reduction, the fabrication of dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) and various biological applications. [4][5][6][7][8] Meso-thienyl porphyrins are potentially suitable for antimicrobial and anticancer applications due to their ability to generate singlet oxygen, and to intercalate with DNA. [5][6][7][8][9][10] Zinc tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP) is often used as a benchmark to compare other novel dyes. ...
... It is associated with the manufacturing, construction, operation, and maintenance, as well as the demolition and end-of-life phases of the building [16,36]. Thus, a proper LCEA deals closely with the environmental aspects of building impact [38]. ...
