Copper(II) thioxanthone carboxylate as a photoswitchable photocatalyst for photoinduced click chemistry

Post modification of acetylene functional poly(oxindole biphenylylene) by photoinduced CuAAC

“…CuAAC click reactions can be triggered by photochemical means and successfully used for the preparation of complex and functional macromolecular structures and, networks [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

Thioxanthone: a powerful photocatalyst for organic reactions

“…They reported a ligand-free photocatalyst, a combination of thioxanthone carboxylate moiety with Cu II ions, to promote the CuAAC reaction. 78 Murakami and coworkers, reported a nickel-catalysed homocoupling of aryl halides, introducing thioxanthone 1 as the efficient photoredox catalyst for single-electron transfer.

Bismesitoylphosphinic Acid (BAPO‐OH): A Ligand for Copper Complexes and Four‐Electron Photoreductant for the Preparation of Copper Nanomaterials

“…UV irradiation of diluted aqueous solutions yield turbid mixtures showing pale reddish colors (for pictures see Figure S4) and absorptions around 570 nm (for UV/Vis spectra see Figure S5) which indicate plasmonic copper particles . Note that irradiation of the green and yellow solutions of 2 and 3 , respectively, in pure organic solvents do not give metallic copper but produce pale yellow copper(I) complexes, and is in accordance with the previous reports mentioned above (see Figures S9–S11 for details) –…”
