Abstract
In situ generated iron‐based Knölker complexes were found to be efficient catalysts
in a fully non‐noble metal Cu–Fe photocatalytic water reduction system. These mononuclear
iron catalysts were able to generate hydrogen up to 15 times faster than previously
reported [Fe3(CO)12]. A reductive quenching mechanism was shown to operate by fluorescence experiments.
