Abstract
Known for its exceptional light-absorbing properties, conjugated organic molecule are capable of efficiently converting solar energy into chemical energy, providing a new avenue for the utilization of renewable energy. In this work, we successfully synthesized and designed a conjugated organic molecule with 4,7-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (B2Cz). In trifluoromethylation reactions, B2Cz exhibits unique activity by activating C–H bonds to selectively introduce trifluoromethyl groups. Furthermore, B2Cz acts as a photo-cocatalyst alongside NiBr2 in C–N coupling reactions, which demonstrated excellent synergistic catalytic effects. This catalytic system not only enhances reaction efficiency but also significantly advances environmental friendliness and sustainability.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Letters aim is the rapid publication of outstanding and high-impact original research articles in catalysis. The scope of the journal covers a broad range of topics in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
The high-quality original research articles published in Catalysis Letters are subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted papers are published online first and subsequently in print issues. All contributions must include a graphical abstract. Manuscripts should be written in English and the responsibility lies with the authors to ensure that they are grammatically and linguistically correct. Authors for whom English is not the working language are encouraged to consider using a professional language-editing service before submitting their manuscripts.
