Photocatalytic water reduction from a noble-metal-free molecular dyad based on a thienyl-expanded BODIPY photosensitizer

Abstract

A noble-metal-free molecular dyad was constructed by anchoring a thienyl-expanded BODIPY photosensitizer (PS) to a cobaloxime catalyst, which gives a 2.5-fold increase in the TON, and a 3-fold enhancement in the quantum efficiency as compared to the multicomponent catalytic system for the generation of hydrogen via the reduction of water. The stability of PS was expected to improve by introducing the thienyl moiety into the BODIPY core.
