Visible light photoredox by a (<sup>ph,Ar</sup>NacNac)<sub>2</sub>Zn photocatalyst: photophysical properties and mechanistic understanding
Kirti Singh, S. Vidhyalakshmi, Debashis Adhikari
Abstract
A zinc photocatalyst has been developed that shows a ligand-centered, long-lived excited state. Under blue light irradiation, it catalyses ATRA type reactions with styrenes.
