Abstract

Abstract : The cover picture shows a representation of photocatalytic hydrogen production from water using a new homogeneous composition. The figure illustrates the absorption of visible light by a chromophore followed by electron transfer processes that lead to the reduction of protons into hydrogen gas. The mechanistic details of an optimized system composed of a ruthenium(II) tris‐bathophenanthroline chromophore, N, N‐dimethyl‐p‐toluidine electron donor, and a Co‐based molecular catalyst are reported. Details are given in the Full Paper by R. S. Khnayzer et al. onpage 1098 in Issue 10, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201600227).
