Photocatalytic decoloration kinetics of triazine (Reactive Red 11, Reactive Red 2, and Reactive Orange 84) and vinylsulfone type (Reactive Orange 16 and Reactive Black 5) of reactive dyes have been studied spectrophotometrically by following the decrease in dye concentration with time. At ambient conditions, over 90-95% decoloration of above dyes have been observed upon prolonged illumination (15 h) of the reacting system with a 150 W xenon lamp. It was found that the decoloration reaction followed first-order kinetics. The values of observed rate constants were found to be dependent of the structure of dyes at low dye concentration, but independent at higher concentration. It also reports for the first time the decoloration of two different dyes together in a binary dye mixture using visible light-irradiated TiO(2) photocatalyst. Rate of decoloration of two different dyes together in a binary dye mixture using visible light-irradiated TiO(2) photocatalyst is governed by the adsorptivity of the particular dye onto the surface of the TiO(2) photocatalyst.

A practical and efficient reaction for C-selenylation of 1,4-naphthoquinones has been explored. This coupling reaction of two redox structural motifs, such as 2-bromo-1,4-naphthoquinone with diaryldiselenide/ebselen has been achieved by using sodium borohydride reducing agent at room temperature. Using this approach, several 2-selenylated-1,4-naphthoquinones were obtained in moderate to good yields and thoroughly characterized by multinuclear (H, C, and Se) NMR, cyclic voltammetry, and mass spectrometry.

Herein, we unveiled a regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of cyclobutylated phenothiazines, a unique class of structural congeners of phenothiazines visible-light-irradiated intermolecular [2 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction, from readily available naphthoquinones, 2-aminothiophenols, and styrenes, either in a two-step or three-component coupling process. By varying substitutions in all three coupling partners, a library of cyclobutylated phenothiazines, including late-stage derivatization with five commercial drugs, has been realized with up to 97% isolated yield. In contrast to the reported pathways, the developed [2 + 2]-photocycloaddition seems to proceed a 'photoinduced-electron-transfer' (PET) mechanism, which is well corroborated with the experimental observations, Rehm-Weller equation, and computation studies.

Article Synopsis
- Scientists have created a special gel that helps heal diabetic wounds by using light to release energy and oxygen!
- This gel works by using tiny particles that can produce oxygen and other important substances when exposed to red light, helping the body’s healing process!
- The gel not only helps cells survive and move faster but also reduces inflammation, making it a promising way to treat tough wounds caused by diabetes!
The development of highly reducing photocatalysts to functionalize arenes the generation of reactive aryl radicals under mild and environmentally benign reaction conditions has emerged as a noteworthy approach in the realm of organic synthesis. Herein, we report a readily synthesized series of novel naphthocarbazole derivatives (NCs) as organo-photocatalysts, which, upon irradiation under 390 nm light, acquire high reducing power to catalyze several reductive transformations. The promising properties revealed by in depth photophysical and electrochemical studies ( = -1.

In this study, we investigated the degradation of the flame retardant tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) using platinized tungsten oxide (Pt/WO), synthesized via a simple photodeposition method, under visible light. The results of degradation experiments show a significant enhancement in TBBPA degradation upon surface platinization of WO, with the degradation rate increasing by 13.4 times compared to bare WO.
