Realizing photo-promoted saturated C–H functionalization is a significant challenge. [CuI3(H2O)6(TPT)2][H2BW12O40]·28H2O was assembled by combining electron reservoir [BW12O40]5− with photosensitizer TPT. The continuous coordination bonds and π–π stacking interactions facilitate hole–electron separation and electron transfer, and allow it to exhibit high photocatalytic activity toward ethylbenzene oxidation with O2/H2O as oxidants.
