Enantioselective Electron Transfer Reaction Catalyzed by a Novel Photosensitizer, 2+
A novel ruthenium photosensitizer, (2+), was found to have Λ-configuration predominantly and reduce catalytically with high enetioselectivity (kΛ/kΔ = 1.54) under irradiation of light (λ>400 nm) in ethanol/water (9:1 v/v).
Micellar-accelerated Photoreduction of Tris(acetylacetonato)cobalt(III) by 1,4-Dihydronicotinamide Derivatives
The photo-accelerated reduction of tris(acetylacetonato)cobalt(III) by 1,4-dihydronicotinamide derivatives (BNAH and DNAH) was considerably promoted by anionic micelles of sodium dodecylsulphate through the condensation (or incorporation) of the reductant
