Abstract
The conversion of solar energy into chemical bond energy represents one of the most important scientific goals in the 21st century. By investigating the properties of a heterodinuclear RuRh photocatalyst, along with other molecules, this thesis strives to develop detailed understanding of (light-activated) mechanisms limiting photocatalytic processes as well as to utilize this knowledge to explore new catalytic applications.
