Photoinduced water oxidation to molecular oxygen takes place in systems made of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ (bpy = 2,22-bipyridine) as the photosensitizer, [Co4O4(O2CMe)4(py)4] (py = pyridine) as the molecular catalyst and Na2S2O8 as the sacrificial electron acceptor. The photochemical quantum yield of the process reaches the outstanding value of 30% and depends on pH and catalyst concentration. Transient absorption spectroscopy experiments aimed to clarify the first events of the photocatalytic process are also reported.

Abstract
Photoinduced water oxidation to molecular oxygen takes place in systems made of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ (bpy = 2,22-bipyridine) as the photosensitizer, [Co4O4(O2CMe)4(py)4] (py = pyridine) as the molecular catalyst and Na2S2O8 as the sacrificial electron acceptor. The photochemical quantum yield of the process reaches the outstanding value of 30% and depends on pH and catalyst concentration. Transient absorption spectroscopy experiments aimed to clarify the first events of the photocatalytic process are also reported.File in questo prodotto:
