Article Synopsis
- Heterogeneous visible light photocatalysis offers a sustainable method for organic synthesis, but solid-state photocatalysts are often underused due to limited accessibility and unclear relationships between structure and function.
- A new solid-state conjugated organic polymer, poly-(para-phenylene ethynylene), has been developed which demonstrates strong oxidative power when exposed to visible light, making it highly effective in transforming amines into imines.
- The study reveals the polymer's superior photocatalytic activity through its fully conjugated structure, and showcases its potential in facilitating efficiently telescoped reactions for producing biologically important compounds.
