Abstract
In this study, we report the preparation of BODIPY-(Zn)Porphyrin hybrids and their utilization in photocatalytic H 2 production from water. These entities were employed as photosensitizers upon their chemisorption onto the surface of platinum-doped titanium dioxide nanoparticles (PtTiO 2) which acted as photocatalysts. We prepared two diverse BODIPY-(Zn)Porphyrin entities, in which the BODIPY moiety is either covalently attached (BDP-Por) or axially coordinated (BDP(Im)-Por) with the (Zn)Porphyrin; in order to evaluate the impact of the different connectivity between the chromophores in photocatalytic in H 2 evolution. Overall, we developed highly efficient dye-sensitized photocatalytic systems (DSPs) based on noble metal-free photosensitizers reaching 18,600 Turnover Numbers (TONs) and 225 mmol(H 2) g(cat)-1 h-1 .
