Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research work focuses on visible-light-induced photoredox reactions under catalysis by reverse micellar composites of amphiphilic catalysts and electronic mediators. Upon extensive experimentation, we discovered that the reverse micellar catalytic systems have complementary substrate specificity to allow predominantly chemoselective reactions. The results presented in this work demonstrate that the designed catalytic systems have the great potential to find many applications for developing new specific visible-light photoredox reactions.
