Photochemical H2 with noble-metal-free molecular devices comprising a porphyrin photosensitizer and a cobaloxime catalyst.
Among three noble-metal-free molecular devices (1-3) containing a porphyrin photosensitizer and a cobaloxime catalyst, the one with a zinc porphyrin unit displayed apparently higher efficiency for photoinduced H(2) production than complex 2 with a magnesium porphyrin and 3 with a free-base porphyrin, possibly due to the formation of a TEAZnPor-Co triad in solution.
