Photocatalytic results following irradiation at λ > 420 nm, cobaloxime as the catalyst (2.5 mM), ascorbic acid as the SA (0.1 M, which was adjusted to pH 5 prior to sample preparation using the appropriate amount of 2 M NaOH), solvent ratio THF/H2O, 1:1 (v/v) and polymer as PS (0.25 mg/mL; blue squares, solid line) or (0.06 mg/mL; red squares, solid line). Hydrogen turnover frequency displayed for each polymer concentration analysed in μmol h−1 g−1: 0.25 mg/mL (blue triangles, dashed line) and 0.06 mg/mL (red triangles, dashed line). All samples where degassed using three freeze-pump thaw cycles prior to irradiation.
