Abstract

Abstract : A photosensitizing decatungstate-based MOF with 1D channels was achieved for light-driven the β- or γ-site C–H alkylation of aliphatic nitriles, which offered an environmental-friendly route in both the laboratory and industry. Abstract : The efficient photosensitizing of decatungstate-based MOF with 1D channels was achieved via in situ synthesis under solvothermal conditions for light driven acceleration of β- or γ-site C–H alkylation of aliphatic nitriles. The high catalytic efficiency, excellent size selectivity, high stability and good recyclability of the photocatalyst offer an environmentally-friendly route for widening the scope of accessible nitriles in both laboratory and industry.
