Abstract: A nickel based metal-organic macrocycle[Ni2(L2)2(CH3CN)4](ClO4)4·4CH3CN (2) constructed from bidentate Schiff base ligand L2 (L2=1,4-benzenedicarboxaldehyde-bis(2'-pyridinylhydrazone)) with multiple N atoms was utilized to produce hydrogen through splitting of water by visible light (λ>400 nm). This noble-metal-free photocatalytic system consists of a catalyst, photosensitizer (fluorescein, Fl) and sacrificial electron donor (Triethylamine, NEt3). Using the metal-organic macrocycle 2 as a proton reduction catalyst, the activity of the photocatalytic system is high, with a turnover number (TON) of approximately 3 100 molH2·molcat-1. In contrast to the metal-organic macrocycle 2, a mononuclear complex[Ni(L1)2(CH3CN)2](ClO4)2 (1, L1=3-formyl benzaldehyde-2'-pyridylhydrazone) with similar coordination environment has a low efficiency on producing hydrogen. The enhanced efficiency of the catalyst 2 is likely ascribed to the formation of supramolecular complex between fluorescein and the macrocycle which enhances the efficiency of photoinduced electron transfer. |
