Abstract

Laser irradiation of a cyclohexane solution containing pyrene resulted in hydrogen evolution as pyrene was converted to a metal-free nanoparticle photocatalyst. When C₆H₁₂ was replaced by C₆D₁₂, D₂ was mainly evolved. This result suggests that the hydrogen source is cyclohexane used as a solvent. Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution was also observed in an aqueous solution by using a water-soluble pyrene derivative.
