In this manuscript, a photoinduced ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) approach, employing transition-metal-based photocatalysts, for the efficient alkylation of electron-poor olefin is described. The developed redox-neutral process benefits from mild reaction conditions and involves a wide range of chromone-3-carboxylic acids as well as nucleophiles amenable to selective C-H functionalization leading to the formation of 2-substituted chroman-4-one compounds with potential biological activity.

Photoinduced ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) is a powerful technique for the formation of reactive radical species via homolytic cleavage of the metal-ligand bond. Here, we present that the excited state LMCT of a cobyrinate complex can be accessed by tuning its axial coordination with thiolates as ligands. We demonstrate the photoreduction of cobalt via the excited state Co-S bond homolytic cleavage, as guided by the DFT calculations, which signify the relevance of thiolate axial ligands facilitating the LMCT reactivity.

A cerium-catalyzed C-H alkylation of -sulfonyl ketimines with low-cost and readily available alkanes as alkyl sources was developed. This transformation proceeded through the synergy of photoinitiated ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) using a chlorine radical as an HAT reagent and air as a green oxidant. A series of alkylated -sulfonyl ketimines were synthesized with moderate to good yields in a highly atom-economic manner under chemical oxidant-free conditions.

Article Synopsis
- A new copper-based metal organic framework (Cu-MOF) nanoprobe was developed for sensitive detection and imaging of glyphosate in environmental and plant samples, highlighting its importance due to environmental risks.
- The nanoprobe works by fluorescence quenching and recovery; the addition of glyphosate disrupts its structure, leading to a measurable increase in fluorescence.
- It shows excellent performance with a detection limit of 33 nM, significantly below the EPA's maximum contaminant level, and has potential for various applications including monitoring glyphosate levels in soil and plant tissues.
Photocatalysis of Adsorbed Catechol on Degussa P25 TiO at the Air-Solid Interface.

Semiconductor photocatalysis with commercial TiO (Degussa P25) has shown significant potential in water treatment of organic pollutants. However, the photoinduced reactions of adsorbed catechol, a phenolic air pollutant from biomass burning and combustion emissions, at the air-solid interface of TiO remain unexplored. Herein we examine the photocatalytic decay of catechol in the presence of water vapor, which acts as an electron acceptor.

The mechanism of visible light-driven Ni-C(aryl) bond homolysis in (2,2'-bipyridine)Ni(aryl)(halide) complexes, which play a crucial role in metallaphotoredox catalysis for cross-coupling reactions, has been well studied. Differently, the theoretical understanding of Ni-halide bond homolysis remains limited. In this study, we introduce a novel electronic structural framework to elucidate the mechanisms underlying photoinduced Ni-Br bond rupture in the (dtbbpy)Ni(aryl)(Br) complex.
