Solar-Driven C-H Functionalization Reactions

本项目旨在研究以光为能源的非反应性C-H键的官能化反应。光是合成的一个变革性变化，因为热激活被交换为太阳能激活。后者提供了激发态化学的途径，并实现了热不可达的反应步骤。这是一个关键的战略，以利用综合的要求，21世纪的世纪，并尽量减少其生态足迹。与此同时，这一战略提供了一个杠杆，以深刻影响和推动新概念的综合。预计将带来重大惠益，例如增加关于光化学过程的基础知识，以及获得用于药物或OLED等应用的新材料。

This project aims to investigate the functionalization reaction of unreactive C-H bonds using light as the source of energy. Light is a transformative change to synthesis as thermal activation is exchanged to solar activation. The latter gives access to excited state chemistry and enables reaction steps that are thermally inaccessible. It is a key strategy to leverage synthesis to the demands of the 21st century and to minimise its ecologic footprint. At the same time this strategy provides a lever to profoundly impact and drive new concepts in synthesis. Significant benefits are expected, such as increase in fundamental knowledge on photochemical processes, but also the access to new materials for applications as drugs or OLEDs.
