Abstract:
Structurally different bis(imino)copper(I) complexes were prepared in a highly modular manner and utilized as copper-based photocatalysts in the ATRA reactions of styrenes and alkyl halides. The new photocatalysts showed good catalytic activity and ensured efficient chemical transformations.
