Artificial photosynthesis, the use of light as a source of energy to drive oxydo-reduction processes in order to produce artificial fuels, is the subject of intensive research worldwide. Modular, bioinspired strategies relying on the assembly of diverse active modules, such as photoactive or catalytic modules, to build photocatalytic devices, are promising.We will show that Copper-accelerated Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition (CuAAC) is a very interesting practical tool to easily connect such modules, resulting in systems showing efficient light-induced charge shift through the triazole link.1Our latest results in the synthesis of triazole-appended Ruthenium complexes, as well as their photophysical and electrochemical properties, will be presented.1.
