The article was titled 《Cocatalyst-free Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution with Simple Heteroleptic Iridium(III) Complexes》, and you may find the article in ACS Applied Energy Materials.Computed Properties of C12H12N2 The information in the text is summarized as follows:
A simple heteroleptic iridium(III) photosensitizer, Ir-1, containing two ligands 5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-phenylpyridine (ĈN-CF3) and bipyridine (N̂N) has for the first time been studied for cocatalyst-free photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE). The complex Ir-1 produces a hydrogen production rate (ηH2) of 3.2 mmol g-1 h-1, which is over 3.6-fold higher than that of the control complex Ir-2 (0.9 mmol g-1 h-1) containing bipyridine and 2-phenylpyridine ligands without CF3 groups. The higher ηH2 of Ir-1 could be ascribed to the high light-harvesting property, longer triplet electron lifetime, and more appropriate driving force for accepting electrons from the sacrificial donor, which enable efficient charge separation and transfer of electrons for hydrogen evolution. Addnl., the photostability issues of Ir-1 and Ir-2 are addressed by the selection of suitable organic solvent/water photocatalytic systems. In the experiment, the researchers used 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 1134-35-6Computed Properties of C12H12N2)
4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 1134-35-6) is used in the synthesis of a series of o-phenanthroline-substituted ruthenium(II) complexes.Computed Properties of C12H12N2 Furthermore, 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine is used as a chemical Intermediate. It can be used for the determination of ferrous and cyanide compounds.
