Abstract. Polymers containing pendant viologen groups were prepared and studied for their quenching efficiencies of the Rutbpyj}' excited state, their back reactions following the quenching, their viologen radical yields, and finally for their effectiveness in hydrogen production in the presence of colloidal platinum. Results are compared with those from methyl viologen containing systems to evaluate the performance of the polymeric viologen systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
