A photoactive basket-like metal–organic tetragon worked as an enzymatic molecular flask for light driven H2 production

Abstract

A photoactive basket-like metal–organic tetragon Ce–ZL that contained a carbazole photosensitizer was developed to capture the biomimetic [FeFe]-H₂ases for light driven H₂ production. The system exhibited enzymatic behaviour and its activity was inhibited by the encapsulation of ATP.
