Switching the activity of a photoredox catalyst through reversible encapsulation and release

Abstract

Reversible encapsulation of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ within a self-assembled hexameric resorcin[4]arene capsule turns off the photocatalytic aerobic oxidation of an aliphatic sulfide. Upon addition of a competitive cationic guest, the Ru(II) catalyst is released into solution where its catalytic activity is restored.
