  • Supramolecular complexes as photocatalysts for the production of hydrogen from water
    Patent number: 7582584
    Abstract: Supramolecular complexes designed to produce hydrogen from water are provided. The supramolecular complexes absorb visible light and undergo charge transfer, leading to the collection of electrons at a reactive metal center, where the electrons reduce water to hydrogen. The complex remains intact during electron collection and hydrogen production.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 23, 2006
    Date of Patent: September 1, 2009
    Assignee: Virginia Tech Intellectual Properties, Inc.
    Inventors: Karen J. Brewer, Mark Elvington
