Rocker, Johannes published the artcileAlternatives to Iridium: A Polyaza[7]helicene as a Strongly Reductive Visible Light Photoredox Catalyst, Name: Picolinonitrile, the main research area is poly azahelicene photo redox catalyst.
The use of a readily accessible polyazahelicene as a strongly reducing metal-free alternative to the commonly used precious metal based photo redox catalysts is demonstrated. An improved two-step synthesis of the catalyst is described, and its photophys. properties with respect to its use as a photo redox catalyst are evaluated. Its activity under visible light irradiation is proven by application in two double radical light-driven multi-component reactions. The azahelicene gave comparable results to an iridium-based catalyst originally used for the same transformations.
