Abstract:
A series of novel Ir(III) luminophores containing pendant pyridyl moieties that allow for adsorption onto metal surfaces has been synthesized. These new photosensitizer compounds have been evaluated for their efficacy in hydrogen-producing photoreactions. The new complexes are shown to significantly outperform the control photosensitizers without adsorbing moieties.

Photosystem I
Both these photosystems work in concert. An excited electron from PSII is relayed to PSI via an electron transport chain in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast, which is comprised of the carrier molecule plastoquinone, the dual-protein cytochrome complex, and plastocyanin. As electrons move between PSII and PSI, they lose energy and must be re-energized...
