Fortage J, Collomb MN, Costentin C. Turnover Number in Photoinduced Molecular Catalysis of Hydrogen Evolution: a Benchmarking for Catalysts? CHEMSUSCHEM 2024; 17:e202400205.

Abstract
Development of devices for production of H2 using light and a sustainable source of electrons may require the design of molecular systems combining a molecular catalyst and a photosensitizer. Evaluation of the efficiency of hydrogen production is commonly performed in homogeneous solution with a sacrificial electron donor and the report of the maximal turnover number vs catalyst (T O N c a t lim ${TON_{cat}^{\lim } }$ ). This figure of merit is strongly dependent on deactivation pathways and does not by itself provide a benchmarking for catalysts. In particular, when the photosensitizer degradation is the primary source of limitation, a kinetic model, rationalizing literature data, shows that a decrease of the catalyst concentration leads to an increase ofT O N c a t lim ${TON_{cat}^{\lim } }$ . It indicates that exceptionally highT O N c a t lim ${TON_{cat}^{\lim } }$ obtained at very low catalyst concentration shall not be considered as an indication of an exceptional catalytic system. We advocate for a systematic kinetic analysis in order to get a quantitative measure of the competitive pathways leading toT O N c a t lim ${TON_{cat}^{\lim } }$ values and to provide keys for performance improvement.

Abstract
Photochemical ligand release from metal complexes may be exploited in the development of novel photoactivated chemotherapy agents for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. Highly intriguing photochemical behavior is reported for two ruthenium(II) complexes bearing conformationally flexible 1,2,3-triazole-based ligands incorporating a methylene spacer to form 6-membered chelate rings. [Ru(bpy)2(pictz)]2+ (1) and [Ru(bpy)2(btzm)]2+ (2) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridyl; pictz = 1-(picolyl)-4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole; btzm = bis(4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methane) exhibit coordination by the triazole ring through the less basic N2 atom as a consequence of chelation and readily undergo photochemical release of the pictz and btzm ligands (ϕ = 0.079 and 0.091, respectively) in acetonitrile solution to form cis-[Ru(bpy)2(NCMe)2]2+ (3) in both cases. Ligand-loss intermediates of the form [Ru(bpy)2(κ1-pictz or κ1-btzm)(NCCD3)]2+ are detected by 1H NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Photolysis of 1 yields three ligand-loss intermediates with monodentate pictz ligands, two of which form through simple decoordination of either the pyridine or triazole donor with subsequent solvent coordination (4-tz(N2) and 4-py, respectively). The third intermediate, shown to be able to form photochemically directly from 1, arises through linkage isomerism in which the monodentate pictz ligand is coordinated by the triazole N3 atom (4-tz(N3)) with a comparable ligand-loss intermediate with an N3-bound κ1-btzm ligand also observed for 2.

Abstract
A new series of Rh2(II,II) complexes with the formula cis-[Rh2(DTolF)2(bpnp)(L)]2+, where bpnp = 2,7-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,8-naphthyridine, DTolF = N,N'-di(p-tolyl) formamidinate, and L = pdz (pyridazine; 2), cinn (cinnoline; 3), and bncn (benzo[c]cinnoline; 4), were synthesized from the precursor cis-[Rh2(DTolF)2(bpnp)(CH3CN)2]2+ (1). The first reduction couple in 2-4 is localized on the bpnp ligand at approximately -0.52 V vs Ag/AgCl in CH3CN (0.1 M TBAPF6), followed by reduction of the corresponding diazine ligand. Complex 1 exhibits a Rh2(δ*)/DTolF → bpnp(π*) metal/ligand-to-ligand charge-transfer (1ML-LCT) absorption with a maximum at 767 nm (ε = 1800 M-1 cm-1). This transition is also present in the spectra of 2-4, overlaid with the Rh2(δ*)/DTolF → L(π*) 1ML-LCT bands at 516 nm in 2 (L = pdz), 640 nm in 3 (L = cinn), and 721 nm in 4 (L = bncn). Complexes 2 and 3 exhibit Rh2(δ*)/DTolF → bpnp 3ML-LCT excited states with lifetimes, τ, of 3 and 5 ns, respectively, in CH3CN, whereas the lowest energy 3ML-LCT state in 4 is Rh2(δ*)/DTolF → bncn in nature with τ = 1 ns. Irradiation of 4 with 670 nm light in DMF in the presence of 0.1 M TsOH (p-toluene sulfonic acid) and 30 mM BNAH (1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide) results in the production of H2 with a turnover number (TON) of 16 over 24 h. The axial capping of the Rh2(II,II) bimetallic core with the bpnp ligand prevents the formation of an Rh-H hydride intermediate. These results show that the observed photocatalytic reactivity is localized on the bncn ligand, representing the first example of ligand-centered H2 production.

Abstract
In comparison to metal complexes, organic photosensitive dyes employed in photocatalytic hydrogen production exhibit promising developmental prospects. Utilizing the organic dye molecule TA+0 as the foundational structure, a series of innovative organic dyes, denoted as TA1-1 to TA2-6, were systematically designed. Employing first-principles calculations, we methodically explored the modifying effects of diverse electron-donating groups on the R1 and R2 positions to assess their application potential. Our findings reveal that, relative to the experimentally synthesized TATA+03, the TA2-6 molecule boasts a spatial structure conducive to intramolecular electron transfer, showcasing the most negative reduction potential (Ered = -2.11 eV) and the maximum reaction driving force (△G0 2 = -1.26 eV). This configuration enhances its compatibility with the reduction catalyst, thereby facilitating efficient hydrogen evolution. The TA2-6 dye demonstrates outstanding photophysical properties and a robust solar energy capture capacity. Its maximum molar extinction coefficient (ε) stands at 2.616 × 104 M-1·cm-1, representing a remarkable 292.8% improvement over TATA+03. In conclusion, this research underscores the promising potential of the TA2-6 dye as an innovative organic photosensitizer, positioning it as an efficacious component in homogeneous photocatalytic systems.

Abstract
Pyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and organic dye that can form superior bichromophoric systems when combined with a transition metal-based chromophore. However, little is known about the effect of the type of attachment (i.e., 1- vs 2-pyrenyl) and the individual position of the pyrenyl substituents at the ligand. Therefore, a systematic series of three novel diimine ligands and their respective heteroleptic diimine-diphosphine copper(I) complexes has been designed and extensively studied. Special attention was given to two different substitution strategies: (i) attaching pyrene via its 1-position, which occurs most frequently in the literature, or via its 2-position and (ii) targeting two contrasting substitution patterns at the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, i.e., the 5,6- and the 4,7-position. In the applied spectroscopic, electrochemical, and theoretical methods (UV/vis, emission, time-resolved luminescence and transient absorption, cyclic voltammetry, density functional theory), it has been shown that the precise choice of the derivatization sites is crucial. Substituting the pyridine rings of phenanthroline in the 4,7-position with the 1-pyrenyl moiety has the strongest impact on the bichromophore. This approach results in the most anodically shifted reduction potential and a drastic increase in the excited state lifetime by more than two orders of magnitude. In addition, it enables the highest singlet oxygen quantum yield of 96% and the most beneficial activity in the photocatalytic oxidation of 1,5-dihydroxy-naphthalene.

Abstract
The activation of N2 , CO2 or H2 O to energy-rich products relies on multi-electron transfer reactions, and consequently it seems desirable to understand the basics of light-driven accumulation of multiple redox equivalents. Most of the previously reported molecular acceptors merely allow the storage of up to two electrons. We report on a terphenyl compound including two disulfide bridges, which undergoes four-electron reduction in two separate electrochemical steps, aided by a combination of potential compression and inversion. Under visible-light irradiation using the organic super-electron donor tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene, a cascade of light-induced reaction steps is observed, leading to the cleavage of both disulfide bonds. Whereas one of them undergoes extrusion of sulfur to result in a thiophene, the other disulfide is converted to a dithiolate. These insights seem relevant to enhance the current fundamental understanding of photochemical energy storage.

Abstract
Molecular hydrogen (H2) is considered one of the most promising fuels to decarbonize the industrial and transportation sectors, and its photocatalytic production from molecular catalysts is a research field that is still abounding. The search for new molecular catalysts for H2 production with simple and easily synthesized ligands is still ongoing, and the terpyridine ligand with its particular electronic and coordination properties, is a good candidate to design new catalysts meeting these requirements. Herein, we have isolated the new mono-terpyridyl rhodium complex, [RhIII(tpy)(CH3CN)Cl2](CF3SO3) (Rh-tpy), and shown that it can act as a catalyst for the light-induced proton reduction into H2 in water in the presence of the [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2 (Ru) photosensitizer and ascorbate as sacrificial electron donor. Under photocatalytic conditions, in acetate buffer at pH 4.5 with 0.1 M of ascorbate and 530 μM of Ru, the Rh-tpy catalyst produces H2 with turnover number versus catalyst (TONCat*) of 300 at a Rh concentration of 10 μM, and up to 1000 at a concentration of 1 μM. The photocatalytic performance of Ru/Rh-tpy/HA-/H2A has been also compared with that obtained with the bis-dimethyl-bipyridyl complex [RhIII(dmbpy)2Cl2]+ (Rh2) as a catalyst in the same experimental conditions. The investigation of the electrochemical properties of Rh-tpy in DMF solvent reveals that the two-electrons reduced state of the complex, the square-planar [RhI(tpy)Cl] (RhI-tpy), is quantitatively electrogenerated by bulk electrolysis. This complex is stable for hours under an inert atmosphere owing to the π-acceptor property of the terpyridine ligand that stabilizes the low oxidation states of the rhodium, making this catalyst less prone to degrade during photocatalysis. The π-acceptor property of terpyridine also confers to the Rh-tpy catalyst a moderately negative reduction potential (Epc(RhIII/RhI) = -0.83 V vs. SCE in DMF), making possible its reduction by the reduced state of Ru, [RuII(bpy)(bpy•-)]+ (Ru-) (E1/2(RuII/Ru-) = -1.50 V vs. SCE) generated by a reductive quenching of the Ru excited state (*Ru) by ascorbate during photocatalysis. A Stern-Volmer plot and transient absorption spectroscopy confirmed that the first step of the photocatalytic process is the reductive quenching of *Ru by ascorbate. The resulting reduced Ru species (Ru-) were then able to activate the RhIII-tpy H2-evolving catalyst by reduction generating RhI-tpy, which can react with a proton on a sub-nanosecond time scale to form a RhIII(H)-tpy hydride, the key intermediate for H2 evolution.

Abstract
![]()
The protonation of
several Ni-centered pyridine-2-thiolate photocatalysts
for hydrogen evolution is investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy
(XAS). While protonation of the pyridinethiolate ligand was previously
thought to result in partial dechelation from the metal at the pyridyl
N site, we instead observe complete dissociation of the protonated
ligand and replacement by solvent molecules. A combination of Ni K-edge
and S K-edge XAS of the catalyst Ni(bpy)(pyS)2 (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine;
pyS = pyridine-2-thiolate) identifies the structure of the fully protonated
catalyst as a solvated [Ni(bpy)(DMF)4]2+ (DMF
= dimethylformamide) complex and the dissociated ligands as the N-protonated
2-thiopyridone (pyS-H). This surprising result is further supported
by UV–vis absorption spectroscopy and DFT calculations and
is demonstrated for additional catalyst structures and solvent environments
using a combination of XAS and UV–vis spectroscopy. Following
protonation, electrochemical measurements indicate that the solvated
Ni bipyridine complex acts as the primary electron-accepting species
during photocatalysis, resulting in separate protonated ligand and
reduced Ni species. The role of ligand dissociation is considered
in the larger context of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) mechanism.
As neither the pyS-H ligand nor the Ni bipyridine complex acts as
an efficient HER catalyst alone, the critical role of ligand coordination
is highlighted. This suggests that shifting the equilibrium toward
bound species by addition of excess protonated ligand (2-thiopyridone)
may improve the performance of pyridinethiolate-containing catalysts. Protonation of hydrogen-evolving Ni pyridinethiolate
catalysts
is investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy supported by UV−vis
absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory. While pyridinethiolate
ligand protonation was previously assumed to result in a partially
coordinated species with a dissociated Ni−N bond, it is instead
observed here to fully dissociate from the metal. The results are
considered in the context of the electro- and photocatalytic hydrogen
evolution reaction mechanisms of Ni pyridinethiolate complexes.

Abstract
This work elaborates the effect of dynamic irradiation on light-driven molecular water oxidation to counteract deactivation. It highlights the importance of overall reaction engineering to overcome limiting factors in artificial photosynthesis reactions. Systematic investigation of a homogeneous three-component ruthenium-based water oxidation system revealed significant potential to enhance the overall catalytic efficiency by synchronizing the timescales of photoreaction and mass transport in a capillary flow reactor. The overall activity could be improved by a factor of more than 10 with respect to the turnover number and a factor of 31 referring to the external energy efficiency by controlling the local availability of photons. Detailed insights into the mechanism of light driven water oxidation could be obtained using complementary methods of investigation like Raman, IR, and UV/Vis/emission spectroscopy, unraveling the importance of avoiding high concentrations of excited photosensitizers.

Abstract
Driven by the great potential of solar energy conversion this study comprises the evaluation and comparison of two different design approaches for the improvement of copper based photosensitizers. In particular, the distinction between the effects of a covalently linked and a directly fused naphthalimide unit was assessed. For this purpose, the two heteroleptic Cu(I) complexes CuNIphen (NIphen = 5-(1,8-naphthalimide)-1,10-phenanthroline) and Cubiipo (biipo = 16H-benzo-[4′,5′]-isoquinolino-[2′,1′,:1,2]-imidazo-[4,5-f]-[1,10]-phenanthroline-16-one) were prepared and compared with the novel unsubstituted reference compound Cuphen (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline). Beside a comprehensive structural characterization, including two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and X-ray analysis, a combination of electrochemistry, steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy was used to determine the electrochemical and photophysical properties in detail. The nature of the excited states was further examined by (time-dependent) density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. It was found that CuNIphen exhibits a greatly enhanced absorption in the visible and a strong dependency of the excited state lifetimes on the chosen solvent. For example, the lifetime of CuNIphen extends from 0.37 µs in CH2Cl2 to 19.24 µs in MeCN, while it decreases from 128.39 to 2.6 µs in Cubiipo. Furthermore, CuNIphen has an exceptional photostability, allowing for an efficient and repetitive production of singlet oxygen with quantum yields of about 32%.

Abstract
Inspired by the active center of the natural [FeFe] hydrogenases, we designed a compact and precious metal‐free photosensitizer‐catalyst dyad (PS‐CAT) for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution under visible light irradiation. PS‐CAT represents a prototype dyad comprising π‐conjugated oligothiophenes as light absorbers. PS‐CAT and its interaction with the sacrificial donor 1,3‐dimethyl‐2‐phenylbenzimidazoline were studied by steady‐state and time‐resolved spectroscopy coupled with electrochemical techniques and visible light‐driven photocatalytic investigations. Operando EPR spectroscopy revealed the formation of an active [FeIFe0] species—in accordance with theoretical calculations—presumably driving photocatalysis effectively (TON≈210).

Abstract
A system for visible light-driven hydrogen production from water is reported. This system makes use of a synthetic mini-enzyme known as a mimochrome (CoMC6*a) consisting of a cobalt deuteroporphyrin and two attached peptides as a catalyst, [Ru(bpy)3]2+ (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) as a photosensitizer, and ascorbic acid as a sacrificial electron donor. The system achieves turnover numbers (TONs) up to 10,000 with respect to catalyst and optimal activity at pH 7. Comparison with related systems shows that CoMC6*a maintains the advantages of biomolecular catalysts, while exceeding other cobalt porphyrins in terms of total TON and longevity of catalysis. Herein, we lay groundwork for future study, where the synthetic nature of CoMC6*a will provide a unique opportunity to tailor proton reduction chemistry and expand to new reactivity.

Abstract
In this article, we report on a series of cyclometalated chloro- and alkynyl-platinum(II) complexes bearing various tridentate N^C^N-cyclometalated ligands derived from 1,3-bis(pyrimidin-2-yl)benzene. The X-ray crystal structures of two alkynyl-platinum(II) complexes were determined and other structures were DFT-calculated. Electrochemical and DFT-computational studies suggest a ligand-centred reduction on the R1-substituted N^C^N ligand, whereas oxidation likely occurs either on the Pt-phenylacetylide moiety and/or the cyclometalated ligand. In CH2Cl2 solution at room temperature, the complexes show phosphorescent emissions ranging from green to orange, depending on the R1 and R2 substituents on the ligands. In KBr solid state matrix, excluding complexes bearing a trifluoromethyl substituted ligand, all compounds exhibit red emission. The presence of an alkynyl ancillary ligand has limited influence on absorption and emission spectra except in the case of the complex with the strongly electron-donating diphenylamino R2 substituent on the alkynyl ligand, for which a significant red-shift was observed. The alkynyl Pt(II) complex with OMe groups as both R1 and R2 substituents shows the best emission quantum yield (0.81 in CH2Cl2 solution) in this series. The full series of DFT calculated band gaps correlated generally well with the electrochemical and absorption data and reasonably model the impact of the substituents on the electronics of these complexes.

Abstract
In fabricating an artificial photosynthesis (AP) electrode for water oxidation, we have devised a semiconductor-mediator-catalyst structure that mimics photosystem II (PSII). It is based on a surface layer of vertically grown nanorods of Fe2 O3 on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) electrodes with a carbazole mediator base and a Ru(II) carbene complex on a nanolayer of TiO2 as a water oxidation co-catalyst. The resulting hybrid assembly, FTO|Fe2 O3 |-carbazole|TiO2 |-Ru(carbene), demonstrates an enhanced photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation performance compared to an electrode without the added carbaozle base with an increase in photocurrent density of 2.2-fold at 0.95 V vs. NHE and a negatively shifted onset potential of 500 mV. The enhanced PEC performance is attributable to carbazole mediator accelerated interfacial hole transfer from Fe2 O3 to the Ru(II) carbene co-catalyst, with an improved effective surface area for the water oxidation reaction and reduced charge transfer resistance.

Abstract
Multichromophoric systems based on a RuII polypyridine moiety containing an additional organic chromophore are of increasing interest with respect to different light-driven applications. Here, we present the synthesis and detailed characterization of a novel RuII photosensitizer, namely [(tbbpy)2 Ru((2-(perylen-3-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]-phenanthrolline))](PF6 )2 RuipPer, that includes a merged perylene dye in the back of the ip ligand. This complex features two emissive excited states as well as a long-lived (8 μs) dark state in acetonitrile solution. Compared to prototype [(bpy)3 Ru]2+ -like complexes, a strongly altered absorption (ϵ=50.3×103 M-1 cm-1 at 467 nm) and emission behavior caused by the introduction of the perylene unit is found. A combination of spectro-electrochemistry and time-resolved spectroscopy was used to elucidate the nature of the excited states. Finally, this photosensitizer was successfully used for the efficient formation of reactive singlet oxygen.

Abstract
A series of new luminescent cycloplatinated(II) complexes (5a-8a and 5b-8b) with formulas Pt(bt)(N^O) and Pt(bt)(N^P) have been synthesized [bt = phenylbenzothiazole, N^O = (2-(1H-benzimidazole)-phenyl)diphenylphosphine oxide derivatives for 1a-4a and N^P = (2-(1H-benzimidazole)-phenyl)diphenylphosphine derivatives for 1b-4b]. The crystal structures of the complexes show distorted square planar geometries around the platinum centers. There are no obvious π-π and Pt-Pt intermolecular interactions in the crystal lattice due to the presence of sterically bulky ancillary ligands. Consequently, these complexes exhibit structured monomeric emissions in the range of 527-540 nm in CH2Cl2 solution. The photoluminescent quantum yields of Pt(bt)(N^O) (5a-8a) in CH2Cl2 solution at room temperature are higher than those of Pt(bt)(N^P) (5b-8b). The above result is well consistent with the crystal structural characteristics of the complexes. The structured emission with microsecond radiative lifetimes and the result of TD-DFT calculations indicate that the emissions of these complexes are mainly attributed to a mixed 3LC-MLCT state.

Abstract
Light-absorbing organic molecules are useful components in photocatalysts, but it is difficult to formulate reliable structure–property design rules. More than 100 million unique chemical compounds are documented in the PubChem database, and a significant sub-set of these are π-conjugated, light-absorbing molecules that might in principle act as photocatalysts. Nature has used natural selection to evolve photosynthetic assemblies; by contrast, our ability to navigate the enormous potential search space of organic photocatalysts in the laboratory is limited. Here, we integrate experiment, computation, and machine learning to address this challenge. A library of 572 aromatic organic molecules was assembled with diverse compositions and structures, selected on the basis of availability in our laboratory, rather than more sophisticated criteria. This training library was then assessed experimentally for sacrificial photocatalytic hydrogen evolution using a high-throughput, automated method. Quantum chemical calculations and machine learning were used to visualise, interpret, and ultimately to predict the photocatalytic activities of these molecules, covering a much broader chemical space than for previous polymer photocatalyst libraries. By applying unsupervised learning to the molecular structures, we identified structural features that were common in molecules with high catalytic activity. Further analysis using calculated molecular descriptors within a suite of supervised classification algorithms revealed that light absorption, exciton electron affinity, electron affinity, exciton binding energy, and singlet–triplet energy gap had correlations with the photocatalytic performance. These trained predictive models can be used in future studies as filters to deprioritise or discard would-be low-activity candidate molecules from experiments, and to prioritize more favourable candidates. As a demonstration, we used virtual in silico experiments to show that it was possible to halve the experimental cost of finding 50% of the most active photocatalysts by using the machine learning model as an experimental advisor. We further showed that the ML advisor trained on the 572-molecule library could be used to make predictions for an unseen set of 96 molecules, achieving equivalent predictive accuracies to those in the initial training set. This marks a step toward the machine-learning assisted discovery of molecular organic photocatalysts and the approach might also be applied to problems beyond photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, such as CO2 reduction and photoredox chemistry. We developed models to predict the photoactivity of organic molecules for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution by integrating experiment, computation, and machine learning. This marks a step toward the data-driven discovery of molecular photocatalysts.![]()

Abstract
The direct conversion of solar energy to clean fuels as alternatives to fossil fuels is an important approach for addressing the global energy shortage and environmental problems. Here, we introduce a new dirhodium-complex-based framework assembly as a heterogeneous molecule-based photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution using visible light. Two dirhodium complexes bearing visible-light-harvesting BODIPY (boron dipyrromethene, BDP) moieties were newly designed and synthesized. The obtained complexes were self-assembled to framework structures (supramolecular framework catalysts), which are stabilized intermolecular noncovalent interactions. These frameworks retained excellent visible-light-harvesting properties of BDP moieties. Investigation of the catalytic performance of the supramolecular framework catalysts revealed that the supramolecular framework catalyst with heavy atoms at BDP moieties exhibited excellent performance in the formation of hydrogen with a reaction rate of 275.8 μmol g-1 h-1 under irradiation of visible light, whereas the supramolecular framework catalyst without heavy atoms at BDP moieties was inactive. Moreover, the system has the additional benefits of high durability (up to 96 h), reusability, and facile removal from the reaction mixture. We also disclosed the effect of heavy atoms at BDP moieties on the catalytic activity and proposed a reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Four novel polypyridine cobalt(II) complexes were developed based on a hexadentate ligand scaffold bearing either electron-withdrawing (-CF3 ) or electron-donating (-OCH3 ) groups in different positions of the ligand. Experiments and theoretical calculations were combined to perform a systematic investigation of the effect of the ligand modification on the hydrogen evolution reaction. The results indicated that the position, rather than the type of substituent, was the dominating factor in promoting catalysis. The best performances were observed upon introduction of substituents on the pyridine moiety of the hexadentate ligand, which promoted the formation of the Co(II)H intermediate via intramolecular proton transfer reactions with low activation energy. Quantum yields of 11.3 and 10.1 %, maximum turnover frequencies of 86.1 and 76.6 min-1 , and maximum turnover numbers of 5520 and 4043 were obtained, respectively, with a -OCH3 and a -CF3 substituent.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been studied extensively in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the water oxidation reaction (WOR) with sacrificial reagents, but overall photocatalytic water splitting using MOFs has remained challenging, principally because of the fast recombination of photo-generated electrons and holes. Here we have integrated HER- and WOR-MOF nanosheets into liposomal structures for separation of the generated charges. The HER-MOF nanosheets comprise light-harvesting Zn-porphyrin and catalytic Pt-porphyrin moieties, and are functionalized with hydrophobic groups to facilitate their incorporation into the hydrophobic lipid bilayer of the liposome. The WOR-MOF flakes consist of [Ru(2,2'-bipyridine)3]2+-based photosensitizers and Ir-bipyridine catalytic centres, and are localized in the hydrophilic interior of the liposome. This liposome-MOF assembly achieves overall photocatalytic water splitting with an apparent quantum yield of (1.5 ± 1)% as a result of ultrafast electron transport from the antennae (Zn-porphyrin and [Ru(2,2'-bipyridine)3]2+) to the reaction centres (Pt-porphyrin and Ir-bipyridine) in the MOFs and efficient charge separation in the lipid bilayers.

Abstract
In the present study, the reactivity of OH with Ni(X2C2H2)2 and Ni(X2C2H2)2 – (where X = S or Se) was investigated. From the thermodynamics, it found that the OH radical attacks a backbone C atom of the Ni(S2C2H2)2 complex. For the Ni(Se2C2H2)2 complex, the OH is predicted to target the ligating chalcogen atom. The significance of this is that with the attack of OH to a backbone C atom, the thermodynamic cost to lose a proton or hydrogen atom ranges from exergonic to marginally endergonic depending on the oxidation state of the complex. Notably, such a process results in a rearrangement of the complex, likely leading to deactivation of the catalyst. Where OH has attacked a ligating chalcogenide atom, the thermodynamic cost to lose a proton or hydrogen is endergonic regardless of oxidation state of the complex. Where OH attacks a coordinating chalcogenide atom, the thermodynamics for the addition of a proton was considered. At the present level of theory, it was found that for the dithiolene and diselenolene monoanionic complexes, the addition of a proton is marginally endergonic. However, following protonation, the loss of water is significantly exergonic and results in the regeneration of the neutral non-oxidized Ni complex. Given the greater tendency for OH to attack Se versus S, it may be speculated that the use of diselenolene ligands may offer a means to protect the Ni complex from damaging OH radicals due to the thermodynamic tendency for OH to attack Se atom of the diselenolene complexes not seen in the dithiolene complexes.

Abstract
A photochemical system utilizing the semisynthetic biomolecular catalyst acetylated cobalt microperoxidase-11 (CoMP11-Ac) along with [Ru(bpy)3]2+ as a photosensitizer and ascorbic acid as an electron donor is shown to generate hydrogen from water in a visible light-driven reaction. The reductive quenching pathway facilitated by photoexcited [Ru(bpy)3]2+ overcomes the high overpotential observed for CoMP11-Ac in electrocatalysis, yielding turnover numbers ranging from 606 to 2390 (2 μM - 0.1 μM CoMP11-Ac). The longevity of CoMP11-Ac in the photochemical system, sustaining catalysis for over 20 h, is in contrast to its previously reported behavior in an electrochemical system where catalysis slows after 15 min. Proton reduction turnover number and rate are highest at a neutral pH, a rare feature among cobalt catalysts in similar photochemical systems, which typically function best under acidic conditions. Incorporating biomolecular components into the design of catalysts for photochemical systems may address the need for hydrogen generation from neutral-pH water sources.

Abstract
Four new molecular Co(II)tetrapyridyl complexes were synthesized and evaluated for their activity as catalysts for proton reduction in aqueous environments. The pyridine groups around the macrocycle were substituted for either one or two pyrazine groups. Single crystal X-ray analysis shows that the pyrazine groups have minimal impact on the Co(II)–N bond lengths and molecular geometry in general. X-band EPR spectroscopy confirms the Co(II) oxidation state and the electronic environment of the Co(II) center are only very slightly perturbed by the substitution of pyrazine groups around the macrocycle. The substitution of pyrazine groups has a substantial impact on the observed metal- and ligand-centered reduction potentials as well as the overall H2 catalytic activity in a multimolecular system using the [Ru(2,2′-bipyridine)3]Cl2 photosensitizer and ascorbic acid as a sacrificial electron donor. The results reveal interesting trends between the H2 catalytic activity for each catalyst and the driving force for electron transfer between either the reduced photosensitizer to catalyst step or the catalyst to proton reduction step. The work presented here showcases how even the difference of a single atom in a molecular catalyst can have an important impact on activity and suggests a pathway to optimize the photocatalytic activity and stability of molecular systems.

Abstract
The production of hydrogen by water electrolysis benefits from the development of water oxidation catalysts. This development process can be aided by the postulation of design rules for catalytic systems. The analysis of the reactivity of molecular complexes can be complicated by their decomposition under catalytic conditions into nanoparticles that may also be active. Such a misinterpretation can lead to incorrect design rules. In this study, the nickel-based water oxidation catalyst [NiII (meso-L)](ClO4 )2 , which was previously thought to operate as a molecular catalyst, is found to decompose to form a NiOx layer in a pH 7.0 phosphate buffer under prolonged catalytic conditions, as indicated by controlled potential electrolysis, electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements. Interestingly, the formed NiOx layer desorbs from the surface of the electrode under less anodic potentials. Therefore, no nickel species can be detected on the electrode after electrolysis. Catalyst decomposition is strongly dependent on the pH and buffer, as there is no indication of NiOx layer formation at pH 6.5 in phosphate buffer nor in a pH 7.0 acetate buffer. Under these conditions, the activity stems from a molecular species, but currents are much lower. This study demonstrates the importance of in situ characterization methods for catalyst decomposition and metal oxide layer formation, and previously proposed design elements for nickel-based catalysts need to be revised.

Abstract
To bind or not to bind: Driven by the motivation to increase the (photo)stability of traditional Cu(I) photosensitizers, multidentate diimine ligands, which contain two additional donor sites, were designed. To this end, a systematic series of four 1,10-phenanthroline ligands with either OR or SR (R = iPr or Ph) donor groups at the 2 and 9 positions and their resulting hetero- and homoleptic Cu(I) complexes were prepared. In addition, the related Ru(II) complexes were also synthesized to study the effect of another metal center. In the following, a combination of NMR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis was used to evaluate the impact of the additional donor moieties on the coordination behavior. Most remarkably, for the homoleptic bis(diimine)copper(I) complexes, a pentacoordinated copper center, corresponding to a (4 + 1)-fold coordination mode, was found in the solid state. This additional binding is the first indication that the extra donor might also occupy a free coordination site in the excited-state complex, modifying the nature of the excited states and their respective deactivation processes. Therefore, the electrochemical and photophysical properties of all novel complexes (in total 13) were studied in detail to assess the potential of these photosensitizers for future applications within solar energy conversion schemes. Finally, the photostabilities and a potential degradation mechanism were analyzed for representative samples.

Abstract
Efforts to drive catalytic reactions with light, inspired by natural processes like photosynthesis, have a long history and have seen significant recent growth. Successfully engineering systems using biomolecular and bioinspired catalysts to carry out light-driven chemical reactions capitalizes on advantages offered from the fields of biocatalysis and photocatalysis. In particular, driving reactions under mild conditions and in water, in which enzymes are operative, using sunlight as a renewable energy source yield environmentally friendly systems. Furthermore, using enzymes and bioinspired systems can take advantage of the high efficiency and specificity of biocatalysts. There are many challenges to overcome to fully capitalize on the potential of light-driven biocatalysis. In this mini-review, we discuss examples of enzymes and engineered biomolecular catalysts that are activated via electron transfer from a photosensitizer in a photocatalytic system. We place an emphasis on selected forefront chemical reactions of high interest, including CH oxidation, proton reduction, water oxidation, CO2 reduction, and N2 reduction.

Abstract
Cobalt complexes containing equatorial tetraazamacrocyclic ligands are active catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction in pure aqueous conditions. We investigated the effect of different groups directly linked to the macrocyclic ligand (-NH-, -NCH3 -, or -N(CH2 OH)-). In electrochemically induced hydrogen evolution catalysis at pH 4, the rate determining step is the protonation of the reduced CoI species that gives a cobalt hydride (CoIII -H), a key intermediate towards the H-H bond formation. In sharp contrast, under photochemical conditions using [Ru(bpy)3 ]2+ (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine) as a photosensitizer and ascorbate as sacrificial electron donor, the formation of a Co0 species that quickly protonates to give a CoII -H is proposed. In this scenario, the rate determining step is the H-H bond formation that occurs in an intermolecular fashion from the CoII -H species and a water molecule. Both mechanisms are supported by DFT calculations, which allowed us to estimate the pKa values of the CoIII -H and CoII -H species and transition states based on intramolecular and intermolecular H-H bond formation from CoII -H.

Abstract
Self-assembly is a bioinspired strategy to craft materials for renewable and clean energy technologies. In plants, the alignment and assembly of the light-harvesting protein machinery in the green leaf optimize the ability to efficiently convert light from the sun to form chemical bonds. In artificial systems, strategies based on self-assembly using noncovalent interactions offer the possibility to mimic this functional correlation among molecules to optimize photocatalysis, photovoltaics, and energy storage. One of the long-term objectives of the field described here as supramolecular energy materials is to learn how to design soft materials containing light-harvesting assemblies and catalysts to generate fuels and useful chemicals. Supramolecular energy materials also hold great potential in the design of systems for photovoltaics in which intermolecular interactions in self-assembled structures, for example, in electron donor and acceptor phases, maximize charge transport and avoid exciton recombination. Possible pathways to integrate organic and inorganic structures by templating strategies and electrodeposition to create materials relevant to energy challenges including photoconductors and supercapacitors are also described. The final topic discussed is the synthesis of hybrid perovskites in which organic molecules are used to modify both structure and functions, which may include chemical stability, photovoltaics, and light emission.
