A Time-Resolved Spectroscopic Investigation of a Novel BODIPY Copolymer and Its Potential Use as a Photosensitiser for Hydrogen Evolution

Abstract: A novel 4,4-difuoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) copolymer with diethynylbenzene has been synthesised, and its ability to act as a photosensitiser for the photocatalytic generation of hydrogen was investigated by time-resolved spectroscopic techniques spanning the ps-to ns-timescales. Both transient absorption and time-resolved infrared spectroscopy were used to probe the excited state dynamics of this photosensitising unit in a variety of solvents. These studies indicated how environmental factors c… Show more

“…Lately, investigations regarding the scope of applications on BODIPYs for photocatalysis have been carried out with cobaloximes as a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst. Typically, 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-BODIPY bearing iodo substituents in 2 and 6 positions (DIB; Figure ) utilized pyridine or aniline in the meso position for electrostatic interaction toward the cobaloxime catalyst. , These investigations point out the high demand on noble-metal-free, organic PSs in photocatalytic applications. Sommer and co-workers reported a BODIPY bearing a para -(3-methyl)­pyridyl substituent in the meso position, which achieved a maximum turnover number (TON) of 31 .…”

“…94 In our previous work, we observed the presence of both chargeseparated (NiO + jPC − ) and excited states (NiOjPC*) for photocatalysts with diester-functionalised bipyridine ligands. 62,63 In this case, for PC3, although most of the signal decays within 1 ns, there is evidence for successful charge-separation with the formation of NiO + jPC3 − .…”

“…The dynamics of the light-driven processes determined via studies of analogous chromophores in dilute solution do not directly transfer to the equivalent DS-PEC device. 62,63 Electron transfer from a dye/catalyst anchored to a semiconductor surface by the traditional strategy of an acid or phosphonate anchoring group leads to multiple competing recombination pathways, many similar to those seen with DSSCs. 57,[64][65][66][67] It is also now known that the chromophore's anchoring group itself can have a signicant impact on charge-recombination.…”

“…The purpose of this review is to present the up-to-date progress of BODIPY in biomedical applications. At the same time, besides biomedicine, BODIPY molecules have also been widely used in organ photovoltaic devices, [72,73] organic optoelectronic devices, [74][75][76] and photocatalytic organic reactions [77][78][79] fields, and many exciting results have been achieved in recent progress. Nevertheless, it still needs to be pointed out that the detailed and systematic discussion of those issues is beyond the scope of this review.…”
