It is the dawning of the age of supramolecular photocatalysts for H 2 production using first‐row transition‐metal catalytic centers. These catalysts consist of a ruthenium tris(diimine) light‐harvesting unit covalently linked to various catalytic cobaloxime centers (see picture). The catalyst stability, Co II /Co I redox potential, and nucleophilicity of the cobaloxime moiety all affect the photocatalytic properties.
