This paper introduces Ir(I)(CO)2(pyalc) (pyalc = (2-pyridyl)-2-propanoate) as an atom-efficient precursor for Ir-based homogeneous oxidation catalysis. This compound was chosen to simplify analysis… (More)
Surface anchoring groups are needed to attach molecular units to photoanodes for photocatalytic water oxidation. The anchoring group must be hydrolytically stable and oxidation resistant under a… (More)
Mesoporous alumina was synthesized via a one-pot self-assembly of aluminum isopropoxide and poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(butylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) triblock copolymer in an acidic ethanol… (More)
A ruthenium complex containing silatrane functional groups has been synthesized and covalently bound to a conductive metal oxide film composed of nanoparticulate ITO (nanoITO). The silatrane-derived… (More)
Hydroxamic acids chelate metals with high affinity and form hydrolytically stable complexes with metal oxides such as TiO2. However, these appealing binding properties can cause problems during the… (More)
8 ABSTRACT: We report CF3-substituted porphyrins and 9 evaluate their use as photosensitizers in water-splitting dye10 sensitized photoelectrochemical cells (WS-DSPECs) by 11 characterizing… (More)
Exploration of heterogeneous molecular catalysts combining the atomic-level tunability of molecular structures and the practical handling advantages of heterogeneous catalysts represents an… (More)
The development of water-splitting dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells has gained interest owing to their ability to generate renewable fuels from solar energy. In this study, photoanodes were… (More)
