Panchromatic dirhodium photocatalysts for dihydrogen generation with red light.

ABSTRACT: A series of three dirhodium complexes cis-[Rh₂(DPhB)₂(bncn)₂](BF₄)₂ (1, DPhB = diphenylbenzamidine; bncn = benzocinnoline), cis-[Rh₂(DPhTA)₂(bncn)₂](BF₄)₂ (2, DPhTA = diphenyltriazenide), and cis-[Rh₂(DPhF)₂(bncn)₂](BF₄)₂ (3, DPhF = N,N'-diphenylformamidinate) shown to act as single-molecule photocatalysts for H₂ production was evaluated. Complexes 1-3 are able to generate H₂ in the absence of any other catalyst in homogenous acidic solution upon irradiation with red light in the presence of the sacrificial electron donor BNAH (1-benzyl-1,4-dih
