The first example of molecular lanthanide tungstate clusters for photochemical and electrochemical hydrogen evolution catalysis is reported.
Recent results concerning molecular molybdenum sulfido clusters as model systems for heterogeneous hydrogen evolution catalysis by sulfides are summarized and also compared to the related chemistry of active site enzyme Mo-nitrogenase.
The first example of light driven, homogeneous hydrogen evolution reactivity a molecular molybdenum sulfide is presented together with experimental and theoretical insights into the reasons for unusually high activity.
Achieving light-driven splitting of water with high efficiency remains a challenging task on the way to solar fuel exploration. In this work, combine advantages heterogeneous and homogeneous photosystems, we covalently anchor noble-metal- carbon-free thiomolybdate [Mo3S13]2- clusters onto photoactive metal oxide supports act as molecular co-catalysts for photocatalytic splitting. We demonstrate that strong surface-limited binding surfaces takes place. The attachment involves loss majority...

Abstract In this work, we present a new synthetic strategy for fourfold‐substituted perylene monoimides via tetrabrominated monoanhydrides. X‐ray diffraction analysis unveiled the intramolecular stacking orientation between substituents and semicircular packing behavior. We observed remarkable influence of substituent on longevity nature excited state upon visible light excitation. presence poly(dehydroalanine)‐graft‐poly(ethylene glycol) graft copolymers as solubilizing template,...

The unique optical and photoredox properties of heptazine-based polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) materials make them promising semiconductors for driving various productive photocatalytic conversions. However, their typical absorption onset at ca. 430-450 nm is still far from optimum efficient sunlight harvesting. Despite many reports successful attempts to extend the light range PCNs, determination structural features responsible red shift edge beyond 450 has often been obstructed by highly...
We report the synthesis and photophysical properties of a neutral BODIPY photosensitizing copolymer (poly-8-(4-hydroxymethylphenyl)-4,4-difluoro-2,6-diethynyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene) containing ethynylbenzene links between units. The absorbs further towards red in UV-vis spectrum compared to precursor. Photolysis polymer produces singlet excited state which crosses triplet surface less than 300 ps.

Solar hydrogen evolution from water is a necessary step to overcome the challenges of rising energy demand and associated environmental concerns. Low-cost photocatalytic architectures based on polymeric light absorbers coupled highly efficient molecular catalysts might represent an attractive platform address this issue. However, to-date, our mechanistic knowledge these systems still largely underdeveloped. In study, molybdenum sulfide evolving catalyst, [Mo 3 S 13 ] 2– , loaded onto carbon...
