Abstract

Three-dimensional conjugated poly (azomethine) networks were found to be promising candidates for applications in photocatalytic water splitting. Straightforward synthetic protocols lead to fully organic photocatalysts that showed enhanced long-time stability. Furthermore, the catalytic performance of these materials was correlated to the molecular composition and the optoelectronic properties of the samples.
