Oxygen-atom transfer photochemistry of a molecular copper bromate complex. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We report the synthesis and oxygen-atom transfer (OAT) photochemistry of [Cu(tpa)BrO3]ClO4. In situ spectroscopy and in crystallo experiments indicate OAT proceeds from a Cu-O fragment generated by sequential Cu-O bond cleavage and OAT from BrOx to [Cu(tpa)]+. These results highlight synthetic opportunities in M-O photochemistry and demonstrate the utility of in crystallo experiments to evaluating photochemical reaction mechanisms.
