Abstract

Modification of photocatalyst reactivity through intermolecular interactions represents a straightforward and convenient strategy for catalyst designation. Herein, we reported that upon the addition of B(C6F5)3·H2O, the oxidation potential of quinoxalinone increased remarkably, enabling the photoredox aerobic oxidation of alcohol, thiols, and alkenes toward carbonyl compounds and dithioethers under visible light conditions. Mechanistic studies, including X-ray structure analysis, cyclic voltammetry, electron paramagnetic resonance measurements, UV-vis absorption, and fluorescence spectra, revealed that the quinoxalinone-B(C6F5)3·H2O combo could serve as a versatile photocatalyst for both energy transfer and single electron transfer processes.
