title: Robust photocatalytic water reduction with cyclometalated Ir(III) 4-vinyl-2,2'-bipyridine complexes.
abstract: Novel [Ir(C^N)(2)(N^N)](+) complexes with N^N ligands containing vinyl groups were synthesized resulting in quintupled turn-over numbers for the photocatalytic hydrogen production compared to the analogous non-vinyl compounds.
