Artificial photosynthesis (AP) is a promising method of converting solar energy into fuel (H(2)). Harnessing solar energy to generate H(2) from H(+) is a crucial process in systems for artificial photosynthesis. Widespread application of a device for AP would rely on the use of platinum-free catalysts due to the scarcity of noble metals. Here we report a series of cobalt dithiolene complexes that are exceptionally active for the catalytic reduction of protons in aqueous solvent mixtures. All cat ...[more]
