Cyclodextrin-based systems for photoinduced hydrogen evolution / N. Mourtzis, P.C. Carballada, M. Felici, R.J.M. Nolte, R.M. Williams, L. De Cola, M.C. Feiters. - In: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS. - ISSN 1463-9076. - 13:17(2011), pp. 7903-7909. [10.1039/c0cp02867c]
Abstract:
Light-driven catalytic three component systems for the reduction of protons, consisting of a cyclodextrin-appended iridium complex as photosensitizer, a viologen-based electron relay, and cyclodextrin-modified platinum nanoparticles as the catalyst, were found to be capable of producing molecular hydrogen effectively in water, using a sacrificial electron donor. The modular approach introduced in this study allows the generation of several functional photo-active systems by self-assembly from a limited number of building blocks. We established that systems with polypyridine iridium complexes of general formula [Ir(ppy)2(pytl-R)]Cl (ppy, 2-phenylpyridine; pytl, 2-(1-substituted-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine) as photosensitizers are active in the production of H2, with yields that under our experimental conditions are 20-35 times higher than those of the classical system with [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2 (bpy, 2,2′-bipyridine), methyl viologen, and Pt. By investigating different photocatalytic systems, it was found that the amount of hydrogen produced was directly proportional to the emission quantum yield of the photosensitizer.
