A covalently linked nickel(ii) porphyrin–ruthenium(ii) tris(bipyridyl) dyad for efficient photocatalytic water oxidation†
Abstract
Visible-light-induced oxidation of water to dioxygen, catalyzed by a newly synthesized NiP-Ru dyad consisting of a ruthenium tris(bipyridyl), [Ru(bpy)3]2+ as a photosensitizer, and a low-cost nickel porphyrin, NiP as a water oxidation catalyst is reported.
