Photocatalytic Systems Based on Acridine Salts Derivatives

摘要

The possibility of 10-methyl-9-phenylacridine iodide usage as a photocatalyst in the process of molecular hydrogen evolution in various aprotic solvents has been shown. A possible process scheme has been suggested. The influence of the acid nature and its concentration on the efficiency of the photocatalytic process has been revealed. It has been shown that the highest amount of molecular hydrogen is formed in presence of acids with intermediate pK.
