Concentration-Dependent Transition in the Rate-Determining Step of Hydrogen Evolution Driven by Pyridinium-Tethered Mononuclear and Dinuclear Platinum Photocatalysts

Abstract Previous studies on the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyzed by Pt(II)-based molecular catalysts have often demonstrated a second-order dependence of the HER rate on the catalyst concentration, suggesting the importance of stabilizing dinuclear platinum intermedia...
