Isotruxene-based porous polymers as efficient and recyclable photocatalysts for visible-light induced metal-free oxidative organic transformations

Abstract

Two new isotruxene-based porous polymers were prepared and demonstrated to be highly efficient, metal-free heterogeneous photocatalysts for oxidative transformations using air as the mild oxidant under visible-light irradiation. Both catalysts show excellent recyclability. In addition, the reactions can be performed in water, further indicating the greenness of this method.
