80. It should be stressed that a straightforward correlation between the hydrogen-evolving activity and the pH is meaningful only in terms of initial rate or maximum TOF, being directly related to the quantum yield of the photoreaction (which is based on the assumption that the kinetic of hydrogen evolution is appreciably dependent on the absorbed photons only), while other parameters, such as the turnover number (TON), are potentially affected by other external variables (rather than absorbed light only).

84. 56 and Co(III)-H species are likely to make process i rate-determining. Within this hypothesis, the sequence of processes i-iii is thus expected to be overall weakly dependent on pH. The fact that the pH dependence of the photocatalysis at pH >5 is substantially compatible with the pH dependence of the first PCET process (eqs 9 and 10) seems to be consistent with this assumption.
