[PMID: 38900647 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202403186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
Here, we report CdS quantum dot (QD) gels, a three-dimensional network of interconnected CdS QDs, as a new type of direct hydrogen atom transfer (d-HAT) photocatalyst for C-H activation. We discovered that the photoexcited CdS QD gel could generate various neutral radicals, including α-amido, heterocyclic, acyl, and benzylic radicals, from their corresponding stable molecular substrates, including amides, thio/ethers, aldehydes, and benzylic compounds. Its C-H activation ability imparts a broad substrate and reaction scope. The mechanistic study reveals that this reactivity is intrinsic to CdS materials, and the neutral radical generation did not proceed via the conventional sequential electron transfer and proton transfer pathway. Instead, the C-H bonds are activated by the photoexcited CdS QD gel via a d-HAT mechanism. This d-HAT mechanism is supported by the linear correlation between the logarithm of the C-H bond activation rate constant and the C-H bond dissociation energy (BDE) with a Brønsted slope α=0.5. Our findings expand the currently limited direct hydrogen atom transfer photocatalysis toolbox and provide new possibilities for photocatalytic C-H activation.

Abstract
The properties of colloidal quantum-confined semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs), including zero-dimensional (0D) quantum dots, 1D nanorods, 2D nanoplatelets, and their heterostructures, can be tuned through their size, dimensionality, and material composition. In their photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications, a key step is to generate spatially separated and long-lived electrons and holes by interfacial charge transfer. These charge transfer properties have been extensively studied recently, which is the subject of this Review. The Review starts with a summary of the electronic structure and optical properties of 0D-2D nanocrystals, followed by the advances in wave function engineering, a novel way to control the spatial distribution of electrons and holes, through their size, dimension, and composition. It discusses the dependence of NC charge transfer on various parameters and the development of the Auger-assisted charge transfer model. Recent advances in understanding multiple exciton generation, decay, and dissociation are also discussed, with an emphasis on multiple carrier transfer. Finally, the applications of nanocrystal-based systems for photocatalysis are reviewed, focusing on the photodriven charge separation and recombination processes that dictate the function and performance of these materials. The Review ends with a summary and outlook of key remaining challenges and promising future directions in the field.

Abstract
The nanocrystal-ligand boundaries of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) mediate charge and energy transfer processes that underpin photochemical and photocatalytic transformations at their surfaces. We used time-resolved infrared spectroscopy combined with transient electronic spectroscopy to probe vibrational modes of the carboxylate anchoring groups of stearate ligands attached to cadmium selenide (CdSe) QDs that were optically excited in solid nanocrystal films. The vibrational frequencies of surface-bonded carboxylate groups revealed their interactions with surface-localized holes in the excited states of the QDs. We also observed transient and reversible photoinduced ligand detachment from CdSe nanocrystals within their excited state lifetime. By probing both surface charge distributions and ligand dynamics on QDs in their excited states, we open a pathway to explore how the nanocrystal-ligand boundary can be understood and controlled for the design of QD architectures that most effectively drive charge transfer processes in solar energy harvesting and photoredox catalysis applications.

Abstract
In this paper, we have successfully synthesized a structurally novel heteropolytungstate via coordination of four {Ru(C6H6)} and trivacant {TeW9O33} clusters, formulated as Cs4Na2H2[Te2W20O72(H2O){(C6H6)Ru}4]·12H2O (1). Compound 1 inherited the strong absorption of [Ru(C6H6)Cl2]2 in the visible region and {TeW9O33} in the UV region, providing a good basis for photocatalysis. As expected, compound 1 showed good photocatalytic activity in the visible-light-driven reduction of nitrobenzene using N2H4·H2O as a reductant with a yield of 99.8%, a high turnover number (TON = 330), and a high turnover frequency (TOF = 24 h-1). The cyclic experiment of nitrobenzene reduction indicated that compound 1 was an effective and stable heterogeneous catalyst. Finally, the nitrobenzene reduction pathway was affirmed using condensation with azobenzene as a reaction intermediate based on control experiments.

Abstract
A new modular, easy-to-synthesize photocatalyst was prepared by assembling colloidal CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QD) and gold nanoparticles (AuNP) via their ligands thanks to copper-catalyzed azide to alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click chemistry. The resulting composite (QD-AuNP) photocatalyst was tested with a benchmark photoredox system previously reported by our group, for which QD alone acted as a photocatalyst but with a modest quantum yield (QY = 0.06%) and turnover number (TON = 350 in 3 h) due to poor charge separation. After optimization, the QD-AuNP composites exhibited much improved photocatalytic performances: up to five times higher TON (2600 in 3 h) and up to 24 times faster reaction in the first 10 min of visible irradiation. Such an improvement is attributed to an efficient electron transfer from QD to AuNP in the photoexcited QD-AuNP composites, which ensures a much better charge separation than that in QD alone. This was confirmed by studying both (i) the quenching of the QD photoluminescence during the synthesis of the QD-AuNP composites and (ii) the blue shift of the AuNP plasmon absorption band due to the accumulation of up to 7400 electrons per AuNP in QD-AuNP composites under visible light irradiation in the presence of electron donors.

Abstract
Branched metal chalcogenide nanostructures with well-defined composition and configuration are appealing photocatalysts for solar-driven organic transformations. However, precise design and controlled synthesis of such nanostructures still remain a great challenge. Herein, we report the construction of a variety of highly symmetrical metal sulfides and heterostructured icosapods based on them, in which twenty branches were radially grown in spatially ordered arrangement, with a high degree of structure homogeneity. Impressively, the as-obtained CdS-PdxS icosapods manifest a significantly improved photocatalytic activity for the selective oxidation of biomass-relevant alcohols into corresponding aldehydes coupled with H2 evolution under visible-light irradiation (>420 nm), and the apparent quantum yield of the benzyl alcohol reforming can be achieved as high as 31.4% at 420 nm. The photoreforming process over the CdS-PdxS icosapods is found to be directly triggered by the photogenerated electrons and holes without participation of radicals. The enhanced photocatalytic performance is attributed to the fast charge separation and abundant active sites originating from the well-defined configuration and spatial organization of the components in the branched heterostructures.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dot (CQD)-decorated CdS nanocomposites were successfully fabricated via the self-assembly of CdS in the presence of preformed CQDs and were found to be efficient photocatalysts for the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene under visible light. Due to the presence of the frustrated Lewis acid-base pairs (FLPs) in their structure, CQDs act as an efficient catalyst to promote the proton-coupled hydrogenation of nitrobenzene over CQDs/CdS nanocomposites. Controllable and chemoselective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to produce aniline, azoxybenzene, azobenzene and hydrazobenzene can be realized over CQDs/CdS via simply regulating the reaction medium including the hydrogen source, the solvent and the alkalinity. This study provides a highly efficient and economical photocatalytic system for the controllable and chemoselective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene under visible light. This work also highlights the great potential of semiconductor-based photocatalysis in light-initiated organic syntheses.

Abstract
Selective photocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde and reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline reactions are investigated by using SiO2@TiO2 spheres produced in a simple route using chitosan as a template. The spheres are predominantly macroporous and, the XRD points out an amorphous crystallographic profile suggesting the uniform distribution of TiO2. Under low-power lighting for 4 hours, the conversions achieved was of the order of 49% and 99% for benzyl alcohol and nitrobenzene, respectively, with selectivity to benzaldehyde and aniline of 99% in both reactions. The study also follows the effects of the solvent and the presence of O2.

Abstract
Living bio-nano systems for artificial photosynthesis are of growing interest. Typically, these systems use photoinduced charge transfer to provide electrons for microbial metabolic processes, yielding a biosynthetic solar fuel. Here, we demonstrate an entirely different approach to constructing a living bio-nano system, in which electrogenic bacteria respire semiconductor nanoparticles to support nanoparticle photocatalysis. Semiconductor nanocrystals are highly active and robust photocatalysts for hydrogen (H2) evolution, but their use is hindered by the oxidative side of the reaction. In this system, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 provides electrons to a CdSe nanocrystalline photocatalyst, enabling visible light-driven H2 production. Unlike microbial electrolysis cells, this system requires no external potential. Illuminating this system at 530 nm yields continuous H2 generation for 168 h, which can be lengthened further by replenishing bacterial nutrients.

Abstract
A variety of phenols have been obtained in aqueous media with moderate to excellent chemical yields (≤100%) by using arylboronic acids and esters as substrates, a robust CdS-TiO2 nanohybrid as a heterogeneous photocatalyst, visible light irradiation (467 nm), and an O2-saturated atmosphere. The nanohybrid was prepared through a linker-assisted methodology that uses mercapto alkanoic acids as the organic linkers. The nanohybrid showed improved photocatalytic activity in the hydroxylation of substituted arylboronic acids and phenyl boronic esters compared with that of pristine CdS quantum dots. The nanohybrid can be reused in up to five photocatalytic cycles with ∼90% of its outstanding activity preserved.

Huerta-Aguilar CA, Srivastava R, Arenas-Alatorre JA, Thangarasu P. Reductive Oligomerization of Nitroaniline Catalyzed by Fe 3O 4 Spheres Decorated with Group 11 Metal Nanoparticles. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:7459-7469. [PMID: 36873030 PMCID: PMC9979374 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c06326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The present work demonstrates a simple and sustainable method for forming azo oligomers from low-value compounds such as nitroaniline. The reductive oligomerization of 4-nitroaniline was achieved via azo bonding using nanometric Fe3O4 spheres doped with metallic nanoparticles (Cu NPs, Ag NPs, and Au NPs), which were characterized by different analytical methods. The magnetic saturation (M s) of the samples showed that they are magnetically recoverable from aqueous environments. The effective reduction of nitroaniline followed pseudo-first-order kinetics, reaching a maximum conversion of about 97%. Fe3O4-Au is the best catalyst, its a reaction rate (k Fe3O4-Au = 0.416 mM L-1 min-1) is about 20 times higher than that of bare Fe3O4 (k Fe3O4 = 0.018 mM L-1 min-1). The formation of the two main products was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS), evidencing the effective oligomerization of NA through N = N azo linkage. It is consistent with the total carbon balance and the structural analysis by density functional theory (DFT)-based total energy. The first product, a six-unit azo oligomer, was formed at the beginning of the reaction through a shorter, two-unit molecule. The nitroaniline reduction is controllable and thermodynamically viable, as shown in the computational studies.

Abstract
As an analogue to thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) of organic molecules, thermally activated delayed photoluminescence (TADPL) observed in molecule-functionalized semiconductor nanocrystals represents an exotic mechanism to harvest energy from dark molecular triplets and to obtain controllable, long-lived PL from nanocrystals. The reported TADPL systems have successfully covered the visible spectrum. However, TADF molecules already emit very efficiently in the visible, diminishing the technological impact of the less-efficient nanocrystal-molecule TADPL. Here we report bright, near-infrared TADPL in lead-free CuInSe2 nanocrystals functionalized with carboxylated tetracene ligands, which results from efficient triplet energy transfer from photoexcited nanocrystals to ligands, followed with thermally activated reverse energy transfer from ligand triplets back to nanocrystals. This strategy prolonged the nanocrystal exciton lifetime from 100 ns to 60 μs at room temperature.

Abstract
Here we report CdS quantum dot (QD) gels as highly efficient and unique photocatalysts for organic synthesis. We found that the photocatalytic activity of CdS QD gel was superior to phosphine oxide- and thiolate-capped CdS QDs for dehalogenation and α-amine arylation reactions because of the high accessibility of its surface sites to the substrates. In addition, we discovered the unique reactivity of CdS QD gel for ring-opening during α-amine arylation of tetrahydroisoquinoline via the reductive cleavage of C-N bonds. QD gels provide new opportunities in photocatalysis due to their unique surface interactions with the substrates or intermediates.

Abstract
Energy and electron transfer processes in light harvesting assemblies dictate the outcome of the overall light energy conversion process. Halide perovskite nanocrystals such as CsPbBr3 with relatively high emission yield and strong light absorption can transfer singlet and triplet energy to surface-bound acceptor molecules. They can also induce photocatalytic reduction and oxidation by selectively transferring electrons and holes across the nanocrystal interface. This perspective discusses key factors dictating these excited-state pathways in perovskite nanocrystals and the fundamental differences between energy and electron transfer processes. Spectroscopic methods to decipher between these complex photoinduced pathways are presented. A basic understanding of the fundamental differences between the two excited deactivation processes (charge and energy transfer) and ways to modulate them should enable design of more efficient light harvesting assemblies with semiconductor and molecular systems.

Abstract
Strong reducing agents (<-2.0 V vs saturated calomel electrode (SCE)) enable a wide array of useful organic chemistry, but suffer from a variety of limitations. Stoichiometric metallic reductants such as alkali metals and SmI2 are commonly employed for these reactions; however, considerations including expense, ease of use, safety, and waste generation limit the practicality of these methods. Recent approaches utilizing energy from multiple photons or electron-primed photoredox catalysis have accessed reduction potentials equivalent to Li0 and shown how this enables selective transformations of aryl chlorides via aryl radicals. However, in some cases, low stability of catalytic intermediates can limit turnover numbers. Herein, we report the ability of CdS nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) to function as strong photoreductants and present evidence that a highly reducing electron is generated from two consecutive photoexcitations of CdS QDs with intermediate reductive quenching. Mechanistic experiments suggest that Auger recombination, a photophysical phenomenon known to occur in photoexcited anionic QDs, generates transient thermally excited electrons to enable the observed reductions. Using blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and sacrificial amine reductants, aryl chlorides and phosphate esters with reduction potentials up to -3.4 V vs SCE are photoreductively cleaved to afford hydrodefunctionalized or functionalized products. In contrast to small-molecule catalysts, QDs are stable under these conditions and turnover numbers up to 47 500 have been achieved. These conditions can also effect other challenging reductions, such as tosylate protecting group removal from amines, debenzylation of benzyl-protected alcohols, and reductive ring opening of cyclopropane carboxylic acid derivatives.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are usually seen as artificial semiconductor particles exhibiting optical and electronic properties interesting for nanotechnological applications. However, they may also play a role in prebiotic chemistry. Starting from zinc acetate, cadmium acetate, and mercaptosuccinic acid, we demonstrate the formation of ZnCd QDs upon UV irradiation in prebiotic liquid formamide. We show that ZnCd QDs are able to increase the yield of RNA nucleobase synthesis from formamide up to 300 times, suggesting they might have served as universal catalysts in a primordial milieu. Based on the experimentally observed peroxidase-like activity of ZnCd QDs upon irradiation with visible light, we propose that QDs could be relevant to a broad variety of processes relating to the emergence of terrestrial life.

Abstract
Semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have emerged as promising photocatalysts. However, NCs are often functionalized with complex ligand shells that contain not only charge acceptors but also other "spectator ligands" that control NC solubility and affinity for target reactants. Here, we show that spectator ligands are not passive observers of photoinduced charge transfer but rather play an active role in this process. We find the rate of electron transfer from quantum-confined PbS NCs to perylenediimide acceptors can be varied by over a factor of 4 simply by coordinating cinnamate ligands with distinct dipole moments to NC surfaces. Theoretical calculations indicate this rate variation stems from both ligand-induced changes in the free energy for charge transfer and electrostatic interactions that alter perylenediimide electron acceptor orientation on NC surfaces. Our work shows NC-to-molecule charge transfer can be fine-tuned through ligand shell design, giving researchers an additional handle for enhancing NC photocatalysis.

Abstract
A new indium precursor, namely, indium(II) chloride, was tested as a precursor in the synthesis of ternary Ag-In-S and quaternary Ag-In-Zn-S nanocrystals. This new precursor, being in fact a dimer of Cl2In-InCl2 chemical structure, is significantly more reactive than InCl3, typically used in the preparation of these types of nanocrystals. This was evidenced by carrying out comparative syntheses under the same reaction conditions using these two indium precursors in combination with the same silver (AgNO3) and zinc (zinc stearate) precursors. In particular, the use of indium(II) chloride in combination with low concentrations of the zinc precursor yielded spherical-shaped (D = 3.7-6.2 nm) Ag-In-Zn-S nanocrystals, whereas for higher concentrations of this precursor, rodlike nanoparticles (L = 9-10 nm) were obtained. In all cases, the resulting nanocrystals were enriched in indium (In/Ag = 1.5-10.3). Enhanced indium precursor conversion and formation of anisotropic, longitudinal nanoparticles were closely related to the presence of thiocarboxylic acid type of ligands in the reaction mixture. These ligands were generated in situ and subsequently bound to surfacial In(III) cations in the growing nanocrystals. The use of the new precursor of enhanced reactivity facilitated precise tuning of the photoluminescence color of the resulting nanocrystals in the spectral range from ca. 730 to 530 nm with photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) varying from 20 to 40%. The fabricated Ag-In-S and Ag-In-Zn-S nanocrystals exhibited the longest, reported to date, photoluminescence lifetimes of ∼9.4 and ∼1.4 μs, respectively. It was also demonstrated for the first time that ternary (Ag-In-S) and quaternary (Ag-In-Zn-S) nanocrystals could be applied as efficient photocatalysts, active under visible light (green) illumination, in the reaction of aldehydes reduction to alcohols.

Abstract
The photocharging effect is widely known across different research fields, has rarely been quantified as a background contribution in photocatalysis, and has often been overlooked in mechanistic interpretation of nanoparticle photocatalysts. To address these issues, this work presents a two-step experiment: charging colloidal Pd nanoparticles with light and hole scavengers and using the charged particles to catalyze the reduction of 4-nitrophenol by NaBH4 under non-irradiation conditions. Experimental kinetics demonstrated a proportional correlation between accumulated electrons and catalytic improvement of Pd nanoparticles. This work reminds us that photocharged nanoparticles may still catalyze chemical reactions as a background phenomenon even when they are not undergoing photoexcitation.

Abstract
The formation of so-called solar fuels from abundant low-energetic compounds, such as carbon dioxide or water, relies on the chemical elementary steps of photoinduced electron transfer and accumulation of multiple redox equivalents. The majority of molecular systems explored to date require sacrificial electron donors to accumulate multiple electrons on a single acceptor unit, but the use of high-energetic sacrificial redox reagents is unsustainable. In recent years, an increasing number of molecular compounds for reversible light-driven accumulation of redox equivalents that do not need sacrificial electron donors has been reported. Those compounds are the focus of this mini review. Different concepts, such as redox potential compression (achieved by proton-coupled electron transfer, Lewis acid-base interactions, or structural rearrangements), hybrids with inorganic nanoparticles, and diffusion-controlled multi-component systems, will be discussed. Newly developed strategies to outcompete unproductive reaction pathways in favor of desired photoproduct formation will be compared, and the importance of identifying reaction intermediates in the course of multiphotonic excitation by different time-resolved spectroscopic techniques will be discussed. The mechanistic insights gained from molecular donor-photosensitizer-acceptor compounds inform the design of next-generation charge accumulation systems for solar energy conversion.

Abstract
Solar energy conversions play a vital role in the renewable energy industry. In recent years, photoredox organic transformations have been explored as an alternative way to use solar energy. Catalysts for such photocatalytic systems have evolved from homogeneous metal complexes to heterogeneous nanomaterials over the past few decades. Herein, three important carrier transfer mechanisms are presented, including charge transfer, energy transfer and hot carrier transfer. Several models established by researchers to understand the catalytic reaction mechanisms are also illustrated, which promote the reaction system design based on theoretical studies. New strategies are introduced in order to enhance catalytic efficiency for future prospects.

Abstract
As one of the most ubiquitous bulk reagents available, the intrinsic chemical inertness of tetrahydrofuran (THF) makes direct and site-selective C(sp3 )-H bond activation difficult, especially under redox neutral condition. Here, we demonstrate that semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) can activate α-C-H bond of THF via forming QDs/THF conjugates. Under visible light irradiation, the resultant alkoxyalkyl radical directly engages in radical cross-coupling with α-amino radical from amino C-H bonds or radical addition with alkene or phenylacetylene, respectively. In contrast to stoichiometric oxidant or hydrogen atom transfer reagents required in previous studies, the scalable benchtop approach can execute α-C-H bond activation of THF only by a QD photocatalyst under redox-neutral condition, thus providing a broad of value added chemicals starting from bulk THFs reagent.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) with tunable photo-optical properties and colloidal nature are ideal for a wide range of photocatalytic reactions. In particular, QD photocatalysts for organic transformations can provide new and effective synthetic routes to high value-added molecules under mild conditions. In this Perspective, we discuss the advances of employing QDs for visible-light-driven organic transformations categorized into net reductive reactions, net oxidative reactions, and redox neutral reactions. We then provide our outlook for potential future directions in the field: nanostructure engineering to improve charge separation efficiencies, ligand shell engineering to optimize overall catalyst performance, in situ comprehensive studies to delineate underlying reaction mechanisms, and laboratory automation with the assistance of modern computing techniques to revolutionize the reaction optimization process.

Abstract
Incorporating artificial photosensitizers with microorganisms has recently been recognized as an effective way to convert light energy into chemical energy. However, the incorporated biosystem is usually constructed in an extracellular manner and is vulnerable to the external environment. Here, we develop an intracellular hybrid biosystem in a higher organism protozoa Tetrahymena pyriformis, in which the in vivo synthesized CdS nanoparticles trigger photoreduction of nitrobenzene into aniline under visible-light irradiation. Integrating a photosensitizer CdS into T. pyriformis enables the photosensitizer CdS, inherent nitroreductase, and the cytoplasmic reductive substance in T. pyriformis to synergistically engage in the photocatalysis process, generating a greatly enhanced aniline yield with a 40-fold increment. Moreover, building an intracellular hybrid biosystem in mutant T. pyriformis could even grant it new capability of reducing nitrobenzene into aniline under visible-light irradiation. Such an intracellular hybrid biosystem paves a new way to functionalize higher organisms and diversify light energy conversion.

Abstract
We present an efficient and versatile visible light-driven methodology to transform aryl aldehydes and ketones chemoselectively either to alcohols or to pinacol products with CdSe/CdS core/shell quantum dots as photocatalysts. Thiophenols were used as proton and hydrogen atom donors and as hole traps for the excited quantum dots (QDs) in these reactions. The two products can be switched from one to the other simply by changing the amount of thiophenol in the reaction system. The core/shell QD catalysts are highly efficient with a turn over number (TON) larger than 4 × 104 and 4 × 105 for the reduction to alcohol and pinacol formation, respectively, and are very stable so that they can be recycled for at least 10 times in the reactions without significant loss of catalytic activity. The additional advantages of this method include good functional group tolerance, mild reaction conditions, the allowance of selectively reducing aldehydes in the presence of ketones, and easiness for large scale reactions. Reaction mechanisms were studied by quenching experiments and a radical capture experiment, and the reasons for the switchover of the reaction pathways upon the change of reaction conditions are provided.

Abstract
It has been found that the final products of the reaction of sulfonyl chlorides and tertiary amines in the presence of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles under visible light irradiation are highly dependent on the applied reaction conditions. Interestingly, with the change of a reaction condition, different pathways were conducted (visible-light-induced N-dealkylation or sp3 and sp2 C-H activation) that lead to different products such as secondary amines and various sulfonyl compounds. Remarkably, all of these reactions were performed under visible light irradiation and an air atmosphere without any additive or oxidant in benign solvents or under solvent-free conditions. During this study, the CdS nanoparticles as affordable, heterogeneous, and recyclable photocatalysts were designed, successfully synthesized, and fully characterized and applied for these protocols. During these studies, intermediates resulting from the oxidation of tertiary amines are trapped during the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process. The reaction was carried out efficiently with a variety of substrates to give the corresponding products at relatively short times in good to excellent yields in parallel with the use of the visible light irradiation as a renewable energy source. Most of these processes are novel or are superior in terms of cost-effectiveness, safety, and simplicity to published reports.

Abstract
We report on the binding of a Ru-based water oxidation catalyst (WOC) to CdS quantum dots (QDs) revealed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Spin centers within the WOC exhibit correlated trends in chemical shift and T2 lifetime shortening upon QD binding. These effects are a highly directional function of proton position within the WOC, thus uncovering orientation information relative to the QD surface. The data suggest that the WOC interacts with the QD surface via the Ru terpyridine ligand, an unexpected orientation that has important implications for interfacial charge transfer and subsequent catalysis. This binding motif enables strong enough donor-acceptor electronic coupling for ultrafast photoinduced hole transfer while maintaining electronically distinct functional subunits.

Abstract
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have attracted tremendous attention in the field of photocatalysis, owing to their superior optoelectronic properties for photocatalytic reactions, including high absorption coefficients and long photogenerated carrier lifetimes. Herein, by choosing 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-oxobutanenitrile as a model substrate, we demonstrate that the stereoselective (>99 %) C-C oxidative coupling reaction can be realized with a high product yield (99 %) using zwitterionic ligand capped CsPbBr3 perovskite QDs under visible light illumination. The reaction can be generalized to different starting materials with various substituents on the phenyl ring and varied functional moieties, producing stereoselective dl-isomers. A radical mediated reaction pathway has been proposed. Our study provides a new way of stereoselective C-C oxidative coupling via a photocatalytic means using specially designed perovskite QDs.

Abstract
Highly stable and thermally robust iron chalcogenide carbonyl clusters Fe3E2(CO)9 (E = S, Se or Te) have been explored for the reduction of nitrobenzene. A 15 min thermal heating of an aqueous solution of nitrobenzene and hydrazine hydrate in the catalytic presence of Fe3E2(CO)9 (E = S, Se or Te) clusters yield average to excellent aniline transformations. Among the S, Se and Te based iron chalcogenised carbonyl clusters, the diselenide cluster was found to be most efficient and produce almost 90% yield of the desired amino product, the disulfide cluster was also found to be significantly active, produce the 85% yield of amino product, while the ditelluride cluster was not found to be active and produced only 49% yield of the desired product. The catalyst can be reused up to three catalytic cycles and it needs to be dried in an oven for one hour prior to reuse for the best results. The developed method is inexpensive, environmentally benign, does not require any precious metal or a high pressure of toxic CO gas and exclusively brings the selective reduction of the nitro group under feasible and inert free conditions. In this study, a strongly feasible method for the reduction of nitrobenzene has been developed through highly stable and thermally robust iron chalcogenide carbonyl clusters Fe3E2(CO)9 (E = S, Se or Te).![]()

Abstract
This Communication describes the use of CuInS2 /ZnS quantum dots (QDs) as photocatalysts for the reductive deprotection of aryl sulfonyl-protected phenols. For a series of aryl sulfonates with electron-withdrawing substituents, the rate of deprotection for the corresponding phenyl aryl sulfonates increases with decreasing electrochemical potential for the two electron transfers within the catalytic cycle. The rate of deprotection for a substrate that contains a carboxylic acid, a known QD-binding group, is accelerated by more than a factor of ten from that expected from the electrochemical potential for the transformation, a result that suggests that formation of metastable electron donor-acceptor complexes provides a significant kinetic advantage. This deprotection method does not perturb the common NHBoc or toluenesulfonyl protecting groups and, as demonstrated with an estrone substrate, does not perturb proximate ketones, which are generally vulnerable to many chemical reduction methods used for this class of reactions.

Abstract
The energy of visible photons and the accessible redox potentials of common photocatalysts set thermodynamic limits to photochemical reactions that can be driven by traditional visible-light irradiation. UV excitation can be damaging and induce side reactions, hence visible or even near-IR light is usually preferable. Thus, photochemistry currently faces two divergent challenges, namely the desire to perform ever more thermodynamically demanding reactions with increasingly lower photon energies. The pooling of two low-energy photons can address both challenges simultaneously, and whilst multi-photon spectroscopy is well established, synthetic photoredox chemistry has only recently started to exploit multi-photon processes on the preparative scale. Herein, we have a critical look at currently developed reactions and mechanistic concepts, discuss pertinent experimental methods, and provide an outlook into possible future developments of this rapidly emerging area.
