Abstract

Thiomolybdate [Mo₃S₁₃]²⁻ nanoclusters, as a molecular mimic of MoS₂ edge sites, showed high efficiency in catalyzing photochemical H₂ evolution from a molecular system of Ru(bpy)₃Cl₂–ascorbic acid (H₂A) under visible light irradiation (≥420 nm), providing a turnover number of 1570 and an initial turnover frequency of 335 h⁻¹ for H₂ evolution based on the [Mo₃S₁₃]²⁻ catalyst.
