An aqueous mixture of chloroplasts, hydrogenase and an electron transfer catalyst on illumination liberates H 2 , the source of the H atoms being water. The rate and duration of H 2 production from such a system depends on the stability of chloroplast and hydrogenase activities in light and oxygen. Both chloroplasts and hydrogenases can be stabilized to a certain degree by immobilization in gels or by incubation in bovine serum albumin. Natural electron carriers of hydrogenases are ferredoxin, cytochrome c 3 and NAD. Viologen dyes and synthetic iron-sulphur particles (Jeevanu) can substitute for the biological carriers. Methyl viologen, photoreduced in the presence of chloroplasts, can liberate H 2 in combination with Pt (Adam’s catalyst). An aqueous solution of proflavine can be photoreduced in the presence of organic electron donors such as EDTA, cysteine, dithiothreitol, etc.; the reduced proflavine can subsequently liberate H 2 with MV-Pt, MV-hydrogenase, ferredoxin-hydrogenase or cytochrome-hydrogenase systems.

A number of new neutral bis-2-(4-dimethylamino)pyridinylidene electron donors featuring N-akyl groups of varying lengths (propyl, butyl, hexyl, dodecyl) have been prepared from 4-dimethylaminopyridine by means of a simple two-step procedure. Each derivative could be isolated in high yield and could be stored indefinitely under inert atmosphere. The electron donors were chemically oxidized to the corresponding bipyridinium ions, and all compounds were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. As an emerging class of electron transfer agents, the availability of the isolated neutral bispyridinylidenes should be beneficial for cases that are incompatible with generating the electron donor in situ.
