Title: Visible-Light Induced Photocatalysis of Partially Fluorinated Poly(<i>p</i>-phenylene) and Related Linear Phenylene Derivatives

PF-PPP-n shows photocatalytic activity for reduction of water to H2, carbonyl compounds to alcohols, and dimethyl maleate and fumarate to the succinate under visible-light (λ &gt; 400 nm) irradiation in the presence of triethylamine as a sacrificial electron donor. The photocatalysis was compared with those of other related fluorinated linear aromatics such as perfluorinated poly(p-phenylene sulfide) (F-PPS-n), perfluorinated poly(p-phenylene) (F-PPP-n). Their spectral characteristics and photocatalysis are discussed on the basis of the semiempirical molecular orbital calculations.Read More
