A study of visible‐light‐driven hydrogen production using a multicomponent system consisting of different boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes, triethylamine and [{Pd(PPh 3 )Cl 2 } 2 ] from THF/water mixtures is presented. A trio of meso ‐mesityl BODIPY dyes display the best activities and long‐term stabilities of more than ten days with the 2,6‐diiodo derivative showing the best performance.
