Abstract

A photosensitizer based on a ruthenium complex of a bisamide-polypyridyl ligand gives rise to a large improvement in photocatalytic stability, rate of activity, and efficiency in photocatalytic H₂ production compared to [Ru(bpy)₃]²⁺ (bpy=2,2′-bpyridine). The bisamide ruthenium polypyridyl complex combined with a cobaltoxime-based photocatalyst was found to be highly efficient under blue-light (turnover number (TON)=7800) and green-light irradiation (TON=7200) whereas [Ru(bpy)₃]²⁺ was significantly less effective with a TON of 2600 and 1100, respectively. The greatest improvement was under red-light-emitting diodes, with bisamide ruthenium polypyridyl complex and cobaltoxime exhibiting a TON of 4200 compared to [Ru(bpy)₃]²⁺ and cobaltoxime at a TON of only 71.
