Solar-Driven C-H Functionalization Reactions

本项目旨在利用光作为能量源，研究非反应性碳氢键的功能化反应。光对合成来说是一个变革性的变化，因为热激活被转换为太阳激活。后者提供了进入激发态化学的途径，并使热不可及的反应步骤成为可能。利用综合技术满足21世纪的需求并最大限度地减少其生态足迹是一项关键战略。与此同时，这一战略提供了一个杠杆，可以深刻地影响和推动新概念的综合。预期会有显著的好处，例如增加光化学过程的基础知识，以及获得用于药物或oled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.
