A series of aza-boron-diquinomethene (aza-BODIQU) complexes with different aryl-substituents (B1-B6) were synthesized and characterized. Their photophysical properties were investigated systematically via spectroscopic and theoretical methods. All complexes exhibit strong 1π-π* absorption bands and intense fluorescent emission bands in the visible spectral region at room temperature. The fluorescence spectra in solution show the mirror image features of the S0→S1 absorption bands, which can be assigned to the 1π-π*/1ICT (intramolecular charge transfer) emitting states. Except for B6, all complexes exhibit high photoluminescence quantum yields (ΦPL = 0.47-0.93). The spectroscopic studies and theoretical calculations indicate that the photophysical properties of these aza-BODIQUs can be tuned by the appended aryl-substituents, which would be useful for rational design of boron-fluorine complexes with high emission quantum yield for organic light-emitting applications.

Herein, we disclose a highly chemoselective room-temperature deoxygenation method applicable to various functionalized N-heterocyclic N-oxides via visible light-mediated metallaphotoredox catalysis using Hantzsch esters as the sole stoichiometric reductant. Despite the feasibility of catalyst-free conditions, most of these deoxygenations can be completed within a few minutes using only a tiny amount of a catalyst. This technology also allows for multigram-scale reactions even with an extremely low catalyst loading of 0.01 mol %. The scope of this scalable and operationally convenient protocol encompasses a wide range of functional groups, such as amides, carbamates, esters, ketones, nitrile groups, nitro groups, and halogens, which provide access to the corresponding deoxygenated N-heterocycles in good to excellent yields (an average of an 86.8% yield for a total of 45 examples).

Visible light-mediated selective and efficient oxidation of various primary/secondary benzyl alcohols to aldehydes/ketones and oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of partially saturated heterocycles using a scalable and reusable heterogeneous photoredox catalyst in aqueous medium are described. A systematic study led to a selective synthesis of aldehydes under an argon atmosphere while the ODH of partially saturated heterocycles under an oxygen atmosphere resulted in very good to excellent yields. The methodology is atom economical and exhibits excellent tolerance towards various functional groups, and broad substrate scope. Furthermore, a one-pot procedure was developed for the sequential oxidation of benzyl alcohols and heteroaryl carbinols followed by the Pictet-Spengler cyclization and then aromatization to obtain the β-carbolines in high isolated yields. This methodology was found to be suitable for scale up and reusability. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the oxidation of structurally diverse aryl carbinols and ODH of partially saturated N-heterocycles using a recyclable and heterogeneous photoredox catalyst under environmentally friendly conditions.
