A Supramolecular Photocatalyst for the Production of Hydrogen and the Selective Hydrogenation of Tolane

摘要

The central processes in natural photosynthesis are light-driven electron transfer from the special-pair chromophore to the primary acceptor,and the subsequent charge separation to enable the reduction of substrates.The transfer of these design principles to artificial systems has led to the development of catalytic multicomponent systems for the photo-catalytic reduction of CO_2 and for the production of hydrogen.
