Energy Transfer in a Hybrid Ir III Carbene–Pt II Acetylide Assembly for Efficient Hydrogen Production

Abstract A new heterometallic supramolecular complex, consisting of an iridium carbene‐based unit appended to a platinum terpyridine acetylide unit, representing a new Ir III –Pt II structural motif, was designed and developed to act as an active species for photocatalytic hydrogen production.

Summary:Abstract A new heterometallic supramolecular complex, consisting of an iridium carbene‐based unit appended to a platinum terpyridine acetylide unit, representing a new Ir III –Pt II structural motif, was designed and developed to act as an active species for photocatalytic hydrogen production. The results also suggested that a light‐harvesting process is essential to realize the solar‐to‐fuel conversion in an artificial system as illustrated in the natural photosynthetic system.
