The evolution of H2 by near-infrared light irradiation is an unprecedented phenomenon that makes use of an extended wavelength range of the solar spectrum. In their Communication on page 208 ff., K. Sakai et al. report photocatalytic H2 evolution using a polypyridyl triruthenium photosensitizer with light-harvesting properties. The photosensitizer promotes H2 evolution under light irradiation at 700–800 nm.
