Congrats to Gabriel & Daria for this great effort!🎉 👏 A privilege to collaborate & co-correspond on this w/ @paologiusto.bsky.social
& @savateevlab.bsky.social at CHUK!
Thanks to @dfg.de #SPP2370 #nitroconversion
for bringing us together & for funding!

As well as cost, recovery/reuse & sustainability benefits,
we discuss advantages & limitations of dye-sensitized vs non-DS photoelectrocatalysis. We cover fabrications &future prospects✨eg CN films, N2 fixation.

Intriguing nuggets:
-Heck reaction w/o Bronsted acid works by pi-stacking 'pi acid-type' preassembly of diArolefin with NHPI ester, detected by NMR titrations!🔎
-Heck rxn works in some case w/o photocat(!) when an Ar ring is tethered to NHPI
-Both rxns scalable to multimmol, both in batch⚗️&flow🚰!
