Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution by Cu(ii) complexes

Abstract

[Cu(TMPA)Cl]Cl (1) and [Cu(Cl-TMPA)Cl2] (2) exhibited efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution with a TON of 6108 and 10014 (6 h), respectively, in CH3CN/H2O solution (9 : 1, v/v) containing an Ir complex as the photosensitizer and triethylamine as the sacrificial reductant, representing the first example of photocatalytic Cu complex-based water reduction catalysts.
