Abstract
En 中文
We report the first uses of a copper carbene–metal-amido complex, [Cu(IPr)(Cbz)] (1), as an efficient photosensitizer for a broad range of triplet–triplet energy transfer (TTEnT) catalytic processes. Mechanistic studies confirm a triplet–triplet energy-transfer pathway. These findings establish 1 as the first copper-based photosensitizer competent in intermolecular [2+2] cycloaddition involving substrates with ET > 62 kcal/mol and hydrogen atom transfer via EnT, offering a cost-effective, sustainable alternative to noble-metal photocatalysts.
