摘要: A photocatalytic water-reducing system utilizing a bis-cyclometalated bipyridyl iridium(III) photosensitizer (PS) and platinum or palladium heterogeneous catalyst was used to identify systematic property−activity correlations among library of structural derivatives [Ir(ppy)2(bpy)]+. Pd proved be more durable than its previously reported Pt-based counterpart, allowing for reliable study. The deliberate steric electronic variations the ppy bpy moieties resulted in dramatic decrease degradation rates observed with selected photosensitizers when compared substitution-labile [Ir(ppy)2(bpy)]+ parent compound. An improved structure nonligating solvent exhibited 150-fold increase turnover numbers using Pt catalyst. Furthermore, photophysical studies at varied temperatures provided information on rate-limit...
