Development of new electrochemically-primed photoredox catalysts

电化学引发光氧化还原催化是近年来发展起来的一种制备高电位单电子氧化剂的方法。电化学生成的自由基阳离子的选择性激发导致可以参与单电子转移过程的高电位介质。该项目将提供一个新的催化剂家族，将应用于选择困难或新颖的碳氢化合物活化和功能化过程。所开发的反应将适用于复杂分子的合成，例如在制药或农用化学工业中。该项目适用于合成有机化学和催化领域，并将为分子提供新的方法，以提高英国和世界其他地区公民的生活质量。

Electrochemically-primed photoredox catalysis is a recently developed approach to generating high potential single electron oxidants. The selective excitation of the electrochemically generated radical cation leads to the high potential mediators that can engage in single electron transfer processes. This project will deliver a new family of catalysts that will be applied to a selection of difficult or novel C-H activation and functionalisation processes. The reactions developed will be applicable to the synthesis of complex molecules, for example in the pharmaceutical or agrochemical industries. The project fits into the areas of Synthetic organic chemistry and Catalysis, and will deliver new methodologies to the molecules that improve the quality of life for citizens of the UK and the rest of the world.
