Blue LEDs-irradiation of a mixture of N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) and perfluoroalkyl iodides (R-I) - Electron Donor Acceptor (EDA)-complex - in the presence of triphenylamines (TPAs) in an aqueous solvent mixture afforded mono-perfluoroalkylated triphenylamines (R-TPA) in good yields. These R-TPA were further subjected to acetone-sensitized [6π]-electrocyclization at 315 nm-irradiation affording exclusively perfluoroalkylated endo-carbazole derivatives (R-CBz) in quantitative yields. Mechanistic studies and photophysical properties of products are studied.

However, examples of practical EDA systems in the catalytic regime remain scarce, and their mechanism is not yet well-understood. Herein, we report the discovery of an EDA complex between triarylamines and α-perfluorosulfonylpropiophenone reagents, catalyzing C-H perfluoroalkylation of arenes and heteroarenes under visible light irradiation in pH- and redox-neutral conditions.

It is widely thought that the water-oxidation reaction limits the maximum work function to about 5.25 eV for hole-doped semiconductors exposed to the ambient, constrained by the oxidation potential of air-saturated water. Here, we show that polymer organic semiconductors, when hole-doped, can show work functions up to 5.
