Polarization engineering of porous organic polymers for superior photocatalytic synthesis of disulfides and CO₂reduction

Abstract

Coupling of benzyl mercaptans to disulfide compounds is an important reaction in the production of pharmaceuticals, life medicine and other valuable fine chemicals. However, the coupling of benzyl mercaptans to...

Organic polymer facilitated CO2 photoreduction: a minireview

“…Using cyclotriphosphazene as the basic skeleton to link pyridine can generate a conjugated polymer (OBCP) for the photoreduction of CO 2 to CH 4 , displaying a high selectivity of 96%. 127 The introduction of phosphorus into the synthesis of COPs can broaden the visible-light absorption range. Hou et al synthesized a p-π conjugated polymer with a PvO structure for the photoreduction of CO 2 to CO, exhibiting a great yield of 15.2 mmol g −1 .…”

High-entropy oxides as photocatalysts for organic conversion

“…Finally, we deduced the reaction mechanism. According to the mechanism, in reaction (I), under light, HEOs generate electrons and holes, thiophenol loses electrons at the holes to form positive ions (Ar-S + H), 30,31 the conduction band electrons reduce O 2 to O 2 À , and then O 2 À replaces the hydrogen of the thiol group on phenyl thiophenol to form sulfur free radicals (Ar-S ) and two Ar-S species couple to form disulfide derivatives (Fig. 2).…”
