Synthesis and Properties of two CuI Complexes Involving Tetrathia-fulvalene-Fused Phenanthroline Ligand

Abstract

Two Cu I complexes based on the π-conjugated tetrathiafulvalene-annulated phenanthroline ligands (TTF-Phen, L 1 and L 2 ), [Cu

The influence of trinuclear complexes on light-induced hydrogen production

“…Aromatic bridges show higher catalytic rate constants than aliphatic systems. 44–48 The trinuclear complex 4d of the form (P 2 Cu( i )N 2 ) 3 was synthesised and investigated for its catalytically relevant photophysical behaviour during light exposure, and the resulting chromophoric behaviour is discussed. The trinuclear chromophore was combined with the literature-known and benchmarked catalysts [Ni(py-S) 3 ](NEt 4 ) ( 1 ) and [Fe 3 (CO) 12 ] ( 2 ).…”
