Electrochemical Properties of a Rhodium(III) Mono-Terpyridyl Complex and Use as a Catalyst for Light-Driven Hydrogen Evolution in Water.

ABSTRACT: Molecular hydrogen (H₂) is considered one of the most promising fuels to decarbonize the industrial and transportation sectors, and its photocatalytic production from molecular catalysts is a research field that is still abounding. The search for new molecular catalysts for H₂ production with simple and easily synthesized ligands is still ongoing, and the terpyridine ligand with its particular electronic and coordination properties, is a good candidate to design new catalysts meeting these requirements. Herein, we have isolated the new mono-terpyridyl rhodium complex, [Rh^III(tpy)(CH₃CN)Cl₂](CF₃SO₃) (Rh-tpy), and shown that it can act as a catalyst for the light-induced proton reduction into H₂ in
