title: What are the active species in the photoinduced H2 production with terpyridyl Pt(II) complexes? An investigation by in situ XAFS.
abstract: Origin of the species: In situ X-ray absorption measurements show that monomeric Pt(II) species are the active components for photocatalytic H2 evolution under visible-light illumination for both [PtCl(tpy)]Cl on its own and a three-component system comprising Ru(bpy)3Cl2, MV(2+) and [PtCl(tpy)]Cl in the presence of a sacrificial electron donor (EDTA).
