This study provides a detailed insight into the photochemistry of a highly reducing, highly luminescent dicopper system, demonstrating its mechanism in the single-electron reduction reaction of benzyl chlorides. The [Cu-2]* excited state serves as the outer-sphere photoreductant for benzyl chloride substrates, while the oxidized byproduct [Cu-2](+) is electrochemically recycled, showcasing a catalytic electrophotochemical C-C coupling process.
Photochemical radical generation has become a modern staple in chemical synthesis and methodology. Herein, we detail the photochemistry of a highly reducing, highly luminescent dicopper system [Cu-2] (Eox* approximate to -2.7 V vs SCE; tau(0) approximate to 10 mu s) within the context of a model reaction: single-electron reduction of benzyl chlorides. The dicopper system is mechanistically well defined. As we show, it is the [Cu-2]* excited state that serves as the outer-sphere photoreductant of benzyl chloride substrates; the ground-state oxidized byproduct, [Cu-2](+), is electrochemically recycled, demonstrating a catalytic electrophotochemical C-C coupling process.
