    Cu-Catalyzed π‑Core Evolution of Benzoxadiazoles with Diaryliodonium Salts for Regioselective Synthesis of Phenazine Scaffolds

    No full text
    The Cu-catalyzed regioselective synthesis of phenazine <i>N</i>-oxides was realized from benzoxadiazoles and diaryliodonium salts. The process was initiated by the electrophilic arylation of benzoxadiazoles with diaryliodonium salts and followed by benzocyclization reactions. The further reduction of <i>N</i>-oxides in situ to phenazine scaffolds and deviation to organic fluorescent materials were readily accomplished

    Polymer Chromophore-Catalyst Assembly for Solar Fuel Generation

    A polystyrene-based chromophore-catalyst assembly (poly-<b>2</b>) has been synthesized and assembled at a mesoporous metal oxide photoanode. The assembly contains water oxidation catalyst centers based on [Ru­(trpy) (phenq)]<sup>2+</sup> (Ru-Cat) and [Ru­(bpy)<sub>3</sub>]<sup>2+</sup> derivatives (Ru-C) as chromophores (trpy= 2,2′;6,2″- terpyridine, phenq = 2-(quinol-8′-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline and bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine). The photophysical and electrochemical properties of the polychromophore-oxidation catalyst assembly were investigated in solution and at the surface of mesoporous metal oxide films. The layer-by-layer (LbL) method was utilized to construct multilayer films with cationic poly-<b>2</b> and anionic poly­(acrylic acid) (PAA) for light-driven photochemical oxidations. Photocurrent measurements of (PAA/poly-<b>2</b>)<sub>10</sub> LbL films on mesoporous TiO<sub>2</sub> demonstrate light-driven oxidation of phenol and benzyl alcohol in aqueous solution. Interestingly, illumination of (PAA/poly-<b>2</b>)<sub>5</sub> LbL films on a fluorine doped SnO<sub>2</sub>/TiO<sub>2</sub> core/shell photoanode in aqueous solution gives rise to an initial photocurrent (∼18.5 μA·cm<sup>–2</sup>) that is in part ascribed to light driven water oxidation
