Research Abstract |
Development of clean and green synthetic processes has attracted great attention from the viewpoint of energy crisis and environmental issues. Photoredox catalysis with well-defined [Ru(bpy)3 ]2+ has become a useful method for redox reactions in synthetic chemistry, because they can undergo visible-light-induced single electron transfer (SET). We have developed new and green photoredox-catalyzed reactions. In addition, new insight on the design of molecular photocatalyst was obtained. We reported on our results as 10 in papers for academic meetings, 8 in scientific treatises, and 1 in patents. One of our results was introduced in the foreign website (“Advances in Engineering”) for the engineering community.
