| Abstract | A phosphoramidite modified [FeFe]H(2)ase mimic is studied as a model for photodriven production of H-2. On cathodic activation, the pyridyl-phosphoramidite complex exhibits a strongly enhanced rate of proton reduction over the previously reported pyridylphosphine model at the same overpotential. Analysis of the cyclic voltammograms shows an apparent H-2 evolution rate strongly influenced by the presence of both side-bound pyridyl and phosphorous-bound dimethylamino moieties at the phosphoramidite ligands. This difference is ascribed to the basic amines acting as proton relays. |
