Photocatalytic water splitting converts solar energy to storable hydrogen molecules which has thehighest energy per mass. Most catalysts for photocatalytic water splitting utilize noble metals or preciousmetals. Organic photocatalysts are attracting more attention owing to several advantages like lightweight, low cost, defined structure and tunability. In this study, the synthesis of several dibenzo[b,f][1,5]-diazocines via microwave irradiation for water splitting application is reported. Microwave irradiationfacilitates fast, safe and simple synthesis in green reaction conditions. Mini library ofdibenzo[b,f][1,5]diazocines were created in order to understand substituents effect on the photocatalyticactivity.
