Abstract
The photoredox reaction between the complex RuL3 2+(l = di-isopropyl 2,2′-bipyridine-4,4′-dicarboxylate) and S2O8 2– has been used in a photoelectrochemical cell to demonstrate the visible-light-induced (λ 450 nm) oxidation of water to give O2 and of chloride ions to give Cl2 in acidic solutions; the high redox-potential of the RuL3 3+/2+ complex and the utilisation of a RuO2-coated Ti anode enable these rather difficult oxidations of occur.Keywords
