Arnold, Polly L.; Purkis, Jamie M.; Rutkauskaite, Ryte; Kovacs, Daniel; Love, Jason B.; Austin, Jonathan published the artcile< Controlled photocatalytic hydrocarbon oxidation by uranyl complexes>, Product Details of C19H16O, the main research area is uranyl phenanthroline hydrocarbon oxidation photocatalyst.
Controlled, photocatalytic C-H bond activations are key reactions in the toolkits of the modern synthetic chemist. While it is known that the uranyl(VI) ion, [UVIO2]2+, the environmentally dominant form of uranium, is photoactive, most literature examines its luminescent properties, neglecting its potential synthetic utility for photocatalytic C-H bond cleavage. Here, we synthesize and fully characterize an air-stable and hydrocarbon-soluble uranyl phenanthroline complex, [UVIO2(NO3)2(Ph2phen)], UPh2phen, and demonstrate that it can catalytically abstract hydrogen atoms from a variety of organic substrates under visible light irradiation We show that the com. available parent complex, uranyl nitrate ([UVIO2(NO3)2(OH2)2][n.8901]4H2O; UNO3), is also competent, but from electronic spectroscopy we attribute the higher rates and selectivity of UPh2phen to ligand-mediated electronic effects. Ketones are selectively formed over other oxygenated products (alcs., etc.), and the catalytic oxidation of substrates containing a benzylic C-H position is particularly improved for UPh2phen. We also show uranyl-mediated photocatalytic C-C bond cleavage in a model lignin compound for the first time.
