Christoph Schnedermann opened a discussion of the paper by Burkhard König: In a broader context, it would be desirable to move towards a more holistic approach by simultaneously optimising the reaction yield and reducing the required photon input. Could you comment on the quantum yields you observe in this and related reactions and how you could potentially optimise them? Related to the rst question, I was wondering if you have considered transitioning from a homogeneous photoredox catalytic system towards a heterogeneous platform and what potential bottlenecks you can envision regarding stability, reaction yield and efficiency?Burkhard König replied: Photons are used as a reagent in photocatalytic organic synthesis; the quantum yield is therefore of importance. We have not determined the quantum yield of the reported reaction, but for many other organic transformations. Typically for reactions involving radical chain mechanisms good quantum yields, o en much larger than 1, are observed. Photocatalytic reactions that require excitation for each catalytic cycle typically show rather small quantum yields, o en 0.01 or less. Many photons are wasted and it is certainly a future challenge to design photocatalytic systems that utilize photons more efficiently.
