Photoexcited perylene diimide radical anions exhibit remarkable substituent-dependent photocatalytic activities towards the reduction of aryl halides, which are mainly controlled by their excited-state reduction potentials and SOMO−1 energies.

Extending the acetylide ligand π-conjugation diminishes the terminal substituent effect on the lowest excited states, but expands the triplet excited-state absorption to the near-IR region.

A new range of N-phenylphenothiazine derivatives was synthesized as potential photoredox catalysts to broaden the substrate scope for the nucleophilic addition of methanol to styrenes through photoredox catalysis. These N-phenylphenothiazines differ by their electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents at the phenyl group, covering both, σ and π-type groups, in order to modulate their absorbance and electrochemical characteristics. Among the synthesized compounds, alkylaminylated N-phenylphenothiazines were identified to be highly suitable for photoredox catalysis. The dialkylamino substituents of these N-phenylphenothiazines shift the estimated excited state reduction potential up to −3.0 V (vs SCE). These highly reducing properties allow the addition of methanol to α-methylstyrene as less-activated substrate for this type of reaction. Without the help of an additive, the reaction conditions were optimized to achieve a quantitative yield for the Markovnivkov-type addition product after 20 h of irradiation.

Some rate constants for the reduction of para-substituted benzenediazonium ions by the radicals eaq-, ·CH2OH, (CH3)2·COH and some semiquinone radical anions have been measured. The substituent group has no effect on the rates with eaq-, but as the reduction potential of the reducing radical becomes more positive, the substituent effect increases, electron-withdrawing groups enhancing the rates. No free halide is formed on reduction of p-BrC6H4N2+ or p-IC6H4N2+ by eaq- or ·CH2OH.
