Abstract

This review aims to promote the role of transient IR spectroscopy to investigate molecular-based photocatalytic water reduction. Examples are discussed in which this method has been successfully applied to elucidate reaction mechanisms. Focus is given to kinetic changes and their consequences when a photochemical water reduction system, which is functional and well understood in solution, is brought onto a metal oxide surface.
