Photocatalytic Oxygenation Reactions with a Cobalt Porphyrin Complex Using Water as an Oxygen Source and Dioxygen as an Oxidant

Photocatalytic oxygenation of hexamethylbenzene occurs under visible-light irradiation of an O2-saturated acetonitrile solution containing a cobalt porphyrin complex CoII(TPP) (TPP2- = tetraphenylporphyrin dianion), water, and triflic acid (HOTf) via a one-photon-two-electron process, affording pentamethylbenzyl alcohol and hydrogen peroxide as products with a turnover number of >6000; in this reaction, H2O and O2 were used as an oxygen source and a two-electron oxidant, respectively. The photocatalytic mechanism was clarified by means of electron paramagnetic resonance, time-resolved fluorescence, and transient absorption measurements as well as 18O-labeling experiments with H218O and 18O2. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first example of efficient photocatalytic oxygenation of an organic substrate by a metal complex using H2O as an oxygen source and O2 as a two-electron oxidant.

Negative-working photosensitive poly(phenylene ether) based on poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene ether), a cross-linker, and a photoacid generator

A novel benzyl cation type cross-linker, hex-1,6-ylenebis[oxy(2,4,6- tris(acetyloxymethyl)-3,5-dimethylbenzene)] (HOAD), that suppresses acid-catalyzed self-polycondensation has been developed. Furthermore, a negative-working, photosensitive poly(phenylen

Attempts at Direct Detection of Reactive Species in Selective Excitation of the Contact Charge Transfer Pairs of Hexamethylbenzene and Oxygen

Pulsed laser excitation of contact charge transfer pairs of hexamethylbenzene (HMB) and oxygen in methanol-acetonitrile gave no evidence for intermediacy of reactive species such as HMB radical cations and penthamethylbenzyl cations (ArCH2+), though stationary irradiation of the pair in hydroxylic solvents afforded distinct products arising from the cationic species.The mechanism of reactions was discussed in comparison with 9,10-dicyanoanthracene-sensitized oxygenation of HMB.
