基于使用基于BODIPY染料和Pd化合物作为质子还原物种的多组分系统的光催化制氢的初步结果，该联合项目旨在更好地理解该反应。为此目的，将进行比较和机理研究，这将导致系统的稳定性和制氢活性的功能优化。本文主要讨论以下几点：1.结构、光学性质和催化活性的相关性a。系统（催化和动力学研究）B.生物物理行为2. BODIPY和Pd的共价连接，保持定向分子内电子转移的活性和稳定性3。通过使用具有弱相互作用的配位位点的官能化（寡）BODIPY增强染料和纳米颗粒的超分子聚集。

Based on preliminary results on photocatalytic hydrogen production using a multicomponent system based on BODIPY dyes and Pd compounds as the proton reducing species, this joint project is aiming at a better understanding of this this reaction. For this purpose, comparative and mechanistic studies will be performed that will result in a functional optimisation of stability and hydrogen production activity of the systems. The following points will be adressed:1. correlation of structure, optical properties and catalytic activitya. system (catalysis and kinetic studies)b. photophysical behaviour2. covalent linking of BODIPY and Pd, maintaining activity and stability for a directed intramolecular electron transfer3. enhancement of supramolecular aggregation of dye and nanoparticle by using functionalised (oligo)BODIPYs with coordination sites for weak interactions.
