设计合成了一系列以二酰基四氟苯为电子受体中心, 两侧连接多取代芳基为电子供体基团的供体-受体-供体(D-A-D)型芳香酮光敏剂(PC3~PC8), 并成功应用于甲基芳烃与芳基溴化物的C(sp3)—H偶联反应的光催化体系. 研究结果表明, 以间位二酰基四氟苯为电子受体中心, 以均三甲苯为供体基团的PC8表现出优异光催化性能, 其活性相比传统二苯甲酮提升460倍. 更值得注意的是, 成功活化了固态甲基芳烃类底物, 突破了甲基芳烃作反应溶剂的关键限制, 显著拓展了底物适用性范围. 理论计算表明, 光敏剂PC8的D-A-D结构能有效分离最高占据分子轨道(HOMO)与最低未占据分子轨道(LUMO)的电子云分布, 从而降低单重态-三重态能隙(ΔES-T), PC8的ΔES-T值(1.48 eV)明显低于二苯甲酮(1.84 eV), 有利于系间窜越(ISC)过程. 吸收光谱表明PC8在310 nm有特征吸收峰, 稳态荧光分析进一步证实, PC8的荧光量子效率为二苯甲酮的5倍, 上述光谱表征结果表明, PC8具有较好的光物理性能, 有效地促进了光催化循环的量子效率提升.

A series of donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) aromatic ketone photosensitizers (PC3~PC8) were successfully designed and synthesized. These compounds feature a diacyltetrafluorobenzene electron-acceptor core connected with multi- substituted aryl electron-donor groups on both sides. They demonstrated excellent performance at photocatalytic systems for C(sp³)—H coupling reactions between methylarenes and aryl bromides. The study found that PC8, which uses meta-diacyl- tetrafluorobenzene as the electron-acceptor core and mesitylene as donor groups, shows outstanding photocatalytic performance. Its activity is 460 times higher than traditional benzophenone. More notably, this work reported the activation of solid methylarene substrates, which overcame the key limitation of using methylarenes solely as reaction solvents and significantly broadened the substrate scope. Theoretical calculations revealed that the D-A-D structure of photosensitizer PC8 effectively separates the electron density distributions of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). This reduces the singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔES-T). The ΔES-T value of PC8 (1.48 eV) is significantly lower than that of benzophenone (1.84 eV), which facilitates the intersystem crossing (ISC) process. The absorption spectra revealed that PC8 has a characteristic absorption peak at 310 nm. Steady-state fluorescence analysis further proved that PC8 has 5 times higher fluorescence quantum yield than benzophenone. These spectroscopic characterizations demonstrate that PC8 possesses superior photophysical properties, effectively driving the enhancement of quantum efficiency in the photocatalytic cycle.
