Description
Summary:Multiple and different metals in a complex can accomplish single and sequential multi-step reactions, providing valuable procedures to obtain chemicals in one-pot synthetic routes. Biology has shown how cooperative catalysis is a powerful method for the synthesis of complicated molecules. One of the most attractive targets for current chemists is the synthesis of H2 by a simple and economical procedure, mainly if it is produced from water using visible light as the energy source. This review aims to show how heterometallic complexes have been recently used to catalyze the photochemical production of H2.
