A Direct S0→Tn Transition in the Photoreaction of Heavy‐Atom‐Containing Molecules

Abstract: According to the Grotthuss–Draper law, light must be absorbed by a substrate to initiate a photoreaction. There have been several reports, however, on the promotion of photoreactions using hypervalent iodine during irradiation with light from a non‐absorbing region. This contradiction gave rise to a mystery regarding photoreactions involving hypervalent iodine. We demonstrated that the photoactivation of hypervalent iodine with light from the apparently non‐absorbing region proceeds via a direct S0→Tn transiti… Show more

“…Herein, we report the serendipitous discovery of a different alkynylation approach via the visible light photoexcitation of aryl‐EBX reagents, alleviating the need for a fine‐tuned photocatalyst (Scheme 1 C). Visible light irradiation can promote the excitation of a variety of hypervalent iodine reagents through spin forbidden transitions [8] . Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, this activation mode has never been reported for EBXs.…”

“…S 0 → T 1 excitation has been reported for Ru(II), 7 Ir(III), 8 and Fe(II), 9 but with inconsequential extinction coefficients for photoredox catalysis. While this concept has been applied to excitation of reagents, 10 , 11 identifying new photocatalysts with strong SOC will allow direct access to long-lived redox-active T 1 states via S 0 → T 1 excitation and minimize ISC-specific energy loss. Fundamentally, this creates a two-state system paradigm for transition metal-based photoredox catalysis by direct S 0 → T 1 excitation, obviating the limitations associated with accessing the T 1 state by initial S 0 → S 1 excitation.…”

“…A fraction of the radicals can trigger the fluoroalkylation reaction. Nakajima and co‐workers have recently discussed a possibility of direct S 0 →T n visible light excitation of hypervalent iodine‐containing reagents that induces formation of fluorinated radicals [41] . However, the calculated energy of the lowest excited triplet state of 1 a is significantly lower than that of the used light and therefore such process is unlikely in our system.…”
