On the mechanism of photocatalytic reactions with eosin Y.

ABSTRACT: A combined spectroscopic, synthetic, and apparative study has allowed a more detailed mechanistic rationalization of several recently reported eosin Y-catalyzed aromatic substitutions at arenediazonium salts. The operation of rapid acid-base equilibria, direct photolysis pathways, and radical chain reactions has been discussed on the basis of pH, solvent polarity, lamp type, absorption properties, and quantum yields. Determination of the latter proved to be an especially valuable tool for the distinction between radical chain and photocatalytic reactions.

Energy and molecules from photochemical/photocatalytic reactions. An overview.

Project description:Photocatalytic reactions have been defined as those processes that require both a (not consumed) catalyst and light. A previous definition was whether such reactions brought a system towards or away from the (thermal) equilibrium. This consideration brings in the question whether a part of the photon energy is incorporated into the photochemical reaction products. Data are provided for representative organic reactions involving or not molecular catalysts and show that energy storage occurs only when a heavily strained structure is generated, and in that case only a minor part of photon energy is actually stored (?G up to 25 kcal·mol-1). The green role of photochemistry/photocatalysis is rather that of forming highly reactive intermediates under mild conditions.

Bioinspired nanocoatings for biofouling prevention by photocatalytic redox reactions.

Project description:Aquaculture is a billion dollar industry and biofouling of aquaculture installations has heavy economic penalties. The natural antifouling (AF) defence mechanism of some seaweed that inhibits biofouling by production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) inspired us to mimic this process by fabricating ZnO photocatalytic nanocoating. AF activity of fishing nets modified with ZnO nanocoating was compared with uncoated nets (control) and nets painted with copper-based AF paint. One month experiment in tropical waters showed that nanocoatings reduce abundances of microfouling organisms by 3-fold compared to the control and had higher antifouling performance over AF paint. Metagenomic analysis of prokaryotic and eukaryotic fouling organisms using next generation sequencing platform proved that nanocoatings compared to AF paint were not selectively enriching communities with the resistant and pathogenic species. The proposed bio-inspired nanocoating is an important contribution towards environmentally friendly AF technologies for aquaculture.

Tandem copper and photoredox catalysis in photocatalytic alkene difunctionalization reactions.

Project description:Oxidative alkene difunctionalization reactions are important in synthetic organic chemistry because they can install polar functional groups onto simple non-polar alkene moieties. Many of the most common methods for these reactions rely upon the reactivity of pre-oxidized electrophilic heteroatom donors that can often be unstable, explosive, or difficult to handle. Herein, we describe a method for alkene oxyamination and diamination that utilizes simple carbamate and urea groups as nucleophilic heteroatom donors. This method uses a tandem copper-photoredox catalyst system that is operationally convenient. The identity of the terminal oxidant is critical in these studies. Ag(I) salts proved to be unique in their ability to turn over the copper cocatalyst without deleteriously impacting the reactivity of the organoradical intermediates.

Optofluidic UV-Vis spectrophotometer for online monitoring of photocatalytic reactions.

Project description:On-chip integration of optical detection units into the microfluidic systems for online monitoring is highly desirable for many applications and is also well in line with the spirit of optofluidics technology-fusion of optics and microfluidics for advanced functionalities. This paper reports the construction of a UV-Vis spectrophotometer on a microreactor, and demonstrates the online monitoring of the photocatalytic degradations of methylene blue and methyl orange under different flow rates and different pH values by detecting the intensity change and/or the peak shift. The integrated device consists of a TiO2-coated glass substrate, a PDMS micro-sized reaction chamber and two flow cells. By comparing with the results of commercial equipment, we have found that the measuring range and the sensitivity are acceptable, especially when the transmittance is in the range of 0.01-0.9. This integrated optofluidic device can significantly cut down the test time and the sample volume, and would provide a versatile platform for real-time characterization of photochemical performance. Moreover, its online monitoring capability may enable to access the usually hidden information in biochemical reactions like intermediate products, time-dependent processes and reaction kinetics.

Operando NMR spectroscopic analysis of proton transfer in heterogeneous photocatalytic reactions.

Project description:Proton transfer (PT) processes in solid-liquid phases play central roles throughout chemistry, biology and materials science. Identification of PT routes deep into the realistic catalytic process is experimentally challenging, thus leaving a gap in our understanding. Here we demonstrate an approach using operando nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy that allows to quantitatively describe the complex species dynamics of generated H2/HD gases and liquid intermediates in pmol resolution during photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this system, the effective protons for HER are mainly from H2O, and CH3OH evidently serves as an outstanding sacrificial agent reacting with holes, further supported by our density functional theory calculations. This results rule out controversy about the complicated proton sources for HER. The operando NMR method provides a direct molecular-level insight with the methodology offering exciting possibilities for the quantitative studies of mechanisms of proton-involved catalytic reactions in solid-liquid phases.

Unraveling fundamental active units in carbon nitride for photocatalytic oxidation reactions.

Project description:Covalently bonded carbon nitride (CN) has stimulated extensive attention as a metal-free semiconductor. However, because of the complexity of polymeric structures, the acquisition of critical roles of each molecular constituent in CN for photocatalysis remains elusive. Herein, we clarify the fundamental active units of CN in photocatalysis by synthesizing CN with more detailed molecular structures. Enabled by microwave synthesis, the as-prepared CN consists of distinguishable melem (M1) and its incomplete condensed form (M2). We disclose rather than the traditional opinion of being involved in the whole photocatalytic processes, M1 and M2 make primary contributions in light absorption and charge separation, respectively. Meanwhile, oxygen molecules are unusually observed to be activated by participating in the photoexcited processes via electronic coupling mainly to M2. As a result, such CN has a higher activity, which was up to 8 times that of traditional bulk CN for photocatalytic oxidation of tetracycline in water.

Photogenerated Oxygen Vacancies in Hierarchical Ag/TiO2 Nanoflowers for Enhanced Photocatalytic Reactions.

Project description:Oxygen vacancy (Vo) creation and morphology controlling make significant contributions to the electronic and structural regulation of metal oxide semiconductors, yet an investigation about convenient approaches for fabricating hierarchical catalyst with abundant oxygen vacancies still has significant challenges. Here, we report a unique method to create abundant oxygen vacancies in hierarchical Ag/TiO2 nanoflowers during photocatalytic reaction, which is accompanied by light absorption variation and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) enhancement. Its high efficiency of photocatalytic H2 evolution (the highest apparent quantum yield reaches 3.2% at 365 nm) and rhodamine B degradation can be considered as benefits from the synergistic effects of the well-arranged hierarchical structure, the photogenerated oxygen vacancies, and the SPR of cocatalyst Ag. This work proposes an effective strategy to optimize the synthesis of regular hierarchical structures and enriches the research on the vital function of oxygen vacancies in photocatalytic reactions.

Divergent Photocatalytic Reactions of α-Ketoesters under Triplet Sensitization and Photoredox Conditions.

Project description:The long-lived triplet excited states of transition metal photocatalysts can activate organic substrates via either energy- or electron-transfer pathways, and the rates of these processes can be influenced by rational tuning of the reaction conditions. The characteristic reactive intermediates generated, however, are distinct and can exhibit very different reactivity patterns. This mechanistic diversity available to photocatalytic reactions might thus offer an opportunity to engineer divergent reactions that give markedly different chemical outcomes under superficially similar conditions. Herein, we show that the photocatalytic reactions of benzoylformate esters with alkenes can be directed toward either Paternò-Büchi cycloadditions or allylic functionalization reactions under conditions favoring energy transfer or electron transfer, respectively. These studies provide a framework for designing other divergent photocatalytic methods that produce different sets of reaction outcomes under photoredox and triplet sensitization conditions.

Selective Mitochondrial Protein Labeling Enabled by Biocompatible Photocatalytic Reactions inside Live Cells.

Project description:Biocompatible reactions are powerful tools to probe protein functions in their native environment. Due to the difficulty of penetrating the live-cell membrane and the complex intracellular environment, the biocompatible reactions inside live cells are challenging, especially at the subcellular level with spatial resolution. Here we report the first biocompatible photocatalytic azide conjugation reaction inside live cells to achieve the mitochondria-selective proteins labeling. The organic dyes acridine orange, fluorescein, and rhodamine 123 were developed as the biocompatible photocatalysts for the proteins labeling with aryl azides, which yielded benzazirines and ketenimines from triplet nitrenes for the protein nucleophilic residue trapping. The photocatalytic azide conjugation reaction with rhodamine 123 selectively labeled the mitochondrial proteins via the organic dye's mitochondrial localization. In response to the mitochondrial stress induced by rotenone, this photocatalytic azide-promoted labeling method mapped the dynamic mitochondrial proteome changes with high temporal-spatial precision and identified several potential mitochondrial stress-response proteins for the first time. The high temporal-spatial precision of this photocatalytic azide-promoted labeling method holds excellent potential for intracellular protein network investigations.

Project description:Two bifunctional CdS-MOF composites have been designed and fabricated. The hybrids exhibited synergistic photocatalytic performance toward two cascade reactions under visible light integrating photooxidation activity of CdS and Lewis acids/bases of the MOF. The composite further promoted the photodegradation of dyes benefiting from effective electron transfer between the MOF and CdS.
