Abstract
Co-ordination complexes of ruthenium and rhodium have been shown to have potential applications in solar energy conversion. When illuminated with visible light on a laboratory scale these complexes catalyse photolysis reactions or exhibit photogalvanic effects to produce hydrogen or electricity. These processes and the problems involved in their immediate scale-up to practical solar energy conversion devices are discussed in this paper.
