Exceptional Dendrimer‐Based Mimics of Diiron Hydrogenase for the Photochemical Production of Hydrogen

Dual Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Pathways in Photo- and Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution with Nickel(II) Catalysts Bearing Tetradentate Macrocyclic Ligands

“…Since the 3 photosynthetic processes in nature are carried out in aqueous solutions and with metalloenzymes (homogeneous catalysts), considerable efforts have been put in by chemists to develop efficient molecular water reduction catalysts (WRCs) based on transition metal complexes for hydrogen production, including those of Pt, 1,2 Rh, 3,4 Mo, [5][6][7] Fe, [8][9][10][11][12][13] Co [14][15][16][17][18] and Ni. Light-induced splitting of water into O 2 and H 2 is an attractive strategy since molecular hydrogen is a clean and renewable fuel.…”

Biomimetic Complexes for Production of Dihydrogen and Reduction of CO2

“…Analogous systems have been constructed using other catalysts, and the results were recently reviewed [134]. The most impressive TON is 22,200, with a TOF ¼ 120 min À1 , in a system employing a large dendrimer encapsulating the diiron catalyst [135].…”

Artificial hydrogenase: biomimetic approaches controlling active molecular catalysts

“…This short review summarizes recent advances in development of an artificial H 2 ase on the basis of a peptide or protein framework. Hybrid H 2 ases in other combinations, such as dendrimers, sugars and nanomaterials will not be [22][23][24][25][26] discussed.…”
