Extended phenothiazines: synthesis, photophysical and redox properties, and efficient photocatalytic oxidative coupling of amines

“…35 Recently, the photocatalytic oxidative coupling of amines has been emerging as a promising approach for imine synthesis due to the advantages of low energy consumption and high efficiency. [36][37][38] For example, some representative photocatalytic systems, such as transition metal catalysts, 39,40 metal oxides, 41 metal/ semiconductor hybrid nanostructures, 42,43 metalloporphyrins, 44,45 and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), 46,47 have proven to be very efficient for oxidative coupling of a variety of amines. However, most of the above are still metal-containing photocatalysts, while metal-free, pure organic and visible lightactive photocatalysts for efficient oxidative coupling of amines are relatively rarely reported.…”

Multicolor Emissive Phosphorescent Iridium(III) Complexes Containing L-Alanine Ligands: Photophysical and Electrochemical Properties, DFT Calculations, and Selective Recognition of Cu(II) Ions

“…Iridium complexes have gradually become the most promising phosphorescent materials due to their high PLQY (photoluminescence quantum yield) [ 9 , 10 , 11 ], easy modification of chemical structure [ 12 , 13 ], easy emission wavelength adjustment [ 14 ], and excellent chemical stability [ 15 ]. Thus, iridium complexes have been used as photosensitizers [ 16 , 17 ] and chemosensors for the detection of various analytes [ 18 , 19 ], showing excellent performance [ 20 ].…”
