New photocatalysts for organic synthesis driven by visible light

(2018) New photocatalysts for organic synthesis driven by visible light. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Effective visible light photocatalysts for achieving organic reactions under mild conditions are long sought after and a rarely achieved aim in modern catalyst chemistry. Here, metal complexes and plasmonic metal NPs were assembled and used systematically for the first time as a novel photocatalyst to achieve this target. The new photocatalytic system was designed, established, and proved to be efficient in driving C-O bond cleavage of lignin model compounds and sugars dehydration to produce 5-HMF under visible light irradiation.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
