The design of light-driven multi-electron photocatalysts, e.g., for hydrogen generation requires (i) the development of efficient two electron redox pathways, which meet the energetic and kinetic requirements of photocatalysis, and (ii) the optimization of the catalysts absorption characteristics to match the solar spectrum.[1,2] In contrast to heterogeneous catalysts composed of individual components,[3] intramolecular homogeneous systems combine antenna, primary electron donor, electron-relay structure and a reaction center in one single molecular architecture, resembling natural light-harvesting paradigms.
