Abstract

A monolayer film of dilute chloroform solutions of surfactant analogues of tris (2,2'-bipyridine) ruthenium(II)/sup 2 +/ spread on a water-air interface were used to study the photochemical cleavage of water. When the monolayer assemblies were immersed in water and irradiated with a mercury lamp, a steady production of gas (concluded to be O/sub 2/ and H/sub 2/) was observed. This method of preparing O/sub 2/ and H/sub 2/ appears to be an extremely promising means of solar energy conversion. (DDA)
