In addition, the synthesis of conventional cross‐coupling partners including organoboranes, stannane, and acetylenes required drastic reaction conditions and strong bases. In this work, a wide variety of thiophene‐diketopyrrolopyrrole (TDPP)‐based semiconducting materials (36 compounds) were synthesized via Pd‐catalysed photoredox methodology by using N‐hydroxyphthalimide (NHP) based coupling partners, which can be readily prepared from N‐hydroxyphthalimide and carboxylic acid or aldehyde derivatives via single step C‐O bond formation reactions with good yield (80‐90%). This methodology minimizes additional synthetic steps, harsh reaction conditions, and high temperature (100‐150 oC). Optoelectronic studies suggest that the synthesized materials have suitable band gap, HOMO and LUMO levels for variety of optoelectronic applications.

Accordingly, in this concept, a number of TADF materials, which can be categorized into two principal groups based on intramolecular bond charge transfer and intermolecular space charge transfer, are introduced in order to explore the potential for their application in ECL. A brief review of their properties not only helps to deepen the understanding of the nature of TADF materials, but also provides basic guidance and support for the introduction of the TADF mechanism into ECL systems, with the aim of enhancing the luminescence efficiency of ECL.","PeriodicalId":10108,"journal":{"name":"ChemPhotoChem","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142217785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To reduce CO2 emission and support the sustainable development, efficient conversion of CO2 into chemical feedstocks has gained a lot of attention. One promising strategy inspired by natural photosynthesis is solar‐driven CO2 reduction, which uses appropriate photocatalytic systems to generate CO, HCOOH, CH4, CH3OH, etc. However, developing low‐cost, environmentally friendly, and non‐toxic materials for the catalytic conversion of CO2 remains a significant challenge. Light‐absorbing photosensitizers play an important role in photocatalytic systems. Recently, non‐precious metal photosensitizers such as organic compounds and earth‐abundant metal complexes have been intensively studied for developing low‐cost photocatalytic systems.

The inclusion of 2‐HBA into γ‐CD enhances its solubility in water and allows it to emit fluorescence.
