title: Red-light-driven photocatalytic hydrogen evolution using a ruthenium quaterpyridine complex.
abstract: A high-temperature, microwave synthesis of [Ru(qpy)3](2+) (qpy = 4,4':2',2'':4'',4'''-quaterpyridine) affords the photosensitiser in quantitative yield. The complex produces H2 photocatalytically in a range extending from the UV region of the spectrum to the red with greater efficiency when compared to [Ru(bpy)3](2+).
