Abstract

See full text

Supramolecular complexes, methods and systems for photocatalysis of the reduction of substrates are described. The supramolecular complexes of the invention have a light absorbing metal center, an electron collector ligand and a catalytically active metal. When the supramolecular complexes are exposed to radiant energy, the light absorbing metal center creates a charge that is transferred to the electron collector ligand to form a charge transfer state. The charge is then transferred through the catalytically active metal to a substrate, cause the reduction of the substrate, e.g. the reduction of water to molecular hydrogen.
