Binuclear copper iodine cluster-based coordination sheets as photocatalysts for decarboxylative cyanation

Abstract

We synthesized two new MOFs (Cu-Tpxa-1 and Cu-Tpxa-2) that were used as heterogeneous photocatalysts, combining photocatalysis and copper catalysis to achieve decarboxylative radical cyanation reactions. This new heterogeneous catalysis method optimized the redox properties and excited-state lifetimes, providing a new idea for exploring photocatalytic mechanisms.
