Abstract
Zinc chlorophyll a derivatives were synthesised for use as photosensitizers. Herein, we report a system for photoinduced hydrogen production with colloidal platinum via photoreduction of methylviologen (MV2+) using the photosensitization of a Zn pyropheophorbide a (ZnPyOH) dimer connected by lysine (ZnPy-K(ZnPy)OH) as a special pair model in the photosynthetic reaction centre in the presence of NADPH as an electron donor.
