Abstract
The light-induced formation of hydrogen from water was studied using p olyelectrolytes containing naphthalene antenna chromophores as sensiti zer. Viologen compounds were employed as electron relay. In the presen ce of platinum catalyst, the systems produced hydrogen efficiently on irradiation with light at lambda = 300 nm. Natural solar light can als o be used to generate hydrogen in such systems. (C) 1998 Elsevier Scie nce S.A.
