Front Cover: Photochemistry at Scale: Wireless Light Emitters Drive Sustainability in Process Research & Development (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 5/2022)

Abstract

The Front Cover shows free‐moving wirelessly‐powered light emitters, which can be used to internally illuminate photochemical reactions. This enables easier scalability of reactions like the illustrated photoredox C–C coupling via Ir/Ni dual catalysis. More information can be found in the Communication by B. O. Burek, K. Lovis, J. Z. Bloh et al.

Shining a Light on the Advances, Challenges and Realisation of Utilising Photoredox Catalysis in Pharmaceutical Development

“…The poor penetration of light into batch reactors has alternatively been addressed using polymer shell coated wireless light emitters that sit inside a batch reactor (Figure 3). [20] These have proved effective for scaling reactions, simply by maintaining the ratio of light emitters to reactor volume. Similarly, the light emitters can be used in a packed bed flow reactor.…”
