Abstract:

We had successfully fabricated a photoinduced hydrogen evolution system from a novel [NiFe]-Hydrogenase Mimic with a NiRu center in the mixture of acetonitrile and water. Under the optimal conditions, the TON value for hydrogen evolution based on the catalyst was as high as 1893, and the TOF value was 2.6 s-1 in the first ten minutes. Furthermore, the hydride intermidiate had been successfully observed by using electrochemical technique.

Key words: [NiFe]-Hydrogenase Mimics, photoinduced hydrogen evolution, metal hydride
