On-demand hydrogen production from formic acid by light-active dinuclear iridium catalysts
Yuki Sofue, Kotohiro Nomura, Akiko Inagaki
Abstract
under light irradiation, but with no reaction being observed in the absence of light or when the light is switched off, thereby demonstrating the clear ON/OFF switching ability of this system. Importantly, the dinuclear structure of the catalyst is sufficiently stable to be maintained under the catalytic conditions employed herein.
