PS= [Ir(ppy)2(bpy)]+
Hydrogen production using simplified single-component photosensitizer (PS) system; electron transfer quenching by Sac generates reduced PS.
Photo-induced chronoamperometry (PICA) technique developed to explore photochemical kinetics and probe the efficiency of PS- generation.
Analysis of PICA data gives a direct measurement of the [Ir]0 generated by light pulse from LED.
Synthesis of pyrene-terminated bipyridine ligand to functionalize carbon nanotubes and graphene with photocatalytic transition metal complexes.
