title: Implementing Metal-to-Ligand Charge Transfer in Organic Semiconductor for Improved Visible-Near-Infrared Photocatalysis.
abstract: The coordination of organic semiconductors with metal cations can induce metal-to-ligand charge transfer, which broadens light absorption to cover the visible-near-infrared (vis-NIR) spectrum. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, the g-C3 N4 -based complex exhibits dramatically enhanced photocatalytic H2 production with excellent durability under vis-NIR irradiation.
