A tube-like Pd@coordination polymer with enhanced solar light harvesting for boosting photocatalytic H₂ production in a wide pH range and seawater.

ABSTRACT: Coordination polymers (CPs) have emerged as promising candidates for photocatalytic H₂ production owing to their structural tailorability and functional diversity. However, the development of CPs with high energy transfer efficiency for highly efficient photocatalytic H₂ production in a wide pH range still faces many challenges. Here we constructed a novel tube-like Pd(ii) coordination polymer with well-distributed Pd nanoparticles (denoted as Pd/Pd(ii)CPs) based on the coordination assembly of rhodamine 6G and Pd(ii) ions and further photo-reduction under visible light irradiation. Both the Br^- ion and double solvent play a key role in forming the hollow superstructures. The resulting tube-like Pd/Pd(ii)CPs exhibit high stability in aqueous solution with t
