Pt(ii)-bis(quinolinyl) complexes for photocatalytic hydrogen production†
Abstract
Three Pt(II)-bis(quinolinyl) complexes with varying electron densities were synthesized, structurally characterized and used for photocatalytic hydrogen production under different conditions. All the complexes were found to be active for hydrogen production giving a maximum turnover number (TON) of 1230 surpassing the conventionally used Pt-terpyridyl complexes.
