Abstract: Two novel metal-organic macrocycles (MFe and MCu) were constructed using the flexible and redox-active ferrocene ligand. The macrocycles effectively quenched the fluorescence of organic dyes and exhibited the capability to trigger the photoinduced electron transfer. Due to relatively lower reduction potentials, MCu exhibited better catalytic features for proton reduction and could better catalyze the reduction of nitro compounds. The large size of the substrates leads to a decreased efficiency in the nitro reduction process. The Michaelis-Menten mechanism was used to verify the photocatalytic system, which revealed the importance of the interaction between substrate and catalyst.
