| Mixed metal supramolecular complexes of the form LA-BL-Rh(III)-BL-LA have shown promise as molecular devices for photoinitiated electron collection (LA = light absorber and BL = bridging ligand). These complexes contain low energy Rh(dó*) orbitals, which allows Rh to act as an electron collector. Studies of the multielectron photoreduction of Rh centered supramolecular complexes will be presented. Of particular interest is the ability of these complexes to act as photocatalysts for the reduction of water to hydrogen. Factors impacting these photochemical processes will be presented. This work is supported by the ACS-PRF.
