Donor–Acceptor Viologens with Through‐Space Conjugation for Enhanced Visible‐Light‐Driven Photocatalysis
AbstractA series of novel donor–acceptor (D–A) type viologens with through‐space conjugation (TSC) are synthesized. The synergistic effect of D–A conjugation and TSC endow these compounds with a narrower energy gap, excellent redox properties, strong absorption in the visible range (up to 450 nm), and high efficiency of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). These compounds also exhibit a long‐lived charge separation state and stable radical formation. Considering their impressive photophysical and redox properties, TSC viologens with D–A conjugation are explored for visible‐light‐driven photocatalysis. As a catalyst in oxidative coupling reactions under visible light, compound 9 can achieve a yield of 94%, attributed to its strong ICT effect. Additionally, hybridized into graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C₃N₄), compound 9 enhances hydrogen production performance under visible light, achieving an H2 generation rate of 4102 µmol h−1g−1. This study highlights the potential applications of TSC viologens in photocatalytic systems.
