Synthesis of a fully benzenoid phenothiazinium ion for red-light-driven photocatalysis.

Abstract

The synthesis of a fully benzenoid phenothiazinium derivative is reported for the first time, along with its preliminary application as an orange/red-light photocatalyst in the formation of aromatic C-N bonds. These results open a new synthetic approach for the design of low-energy photocatalysts based on charged polyaromatic systems.
