A conjugated porous poly-benzobisthiadiazole network for a visible light-driven photoredox reaction

Abstract

A conjugated porous poly-benzobisthiadiazole network was synthesized via high internal phase emulsion polymerization as a highly active and stable heterogeneous photocatalyst. Under a household energy saving light bulb, dehalogenation of α-bromoacetophenones was performed in an almost quantitative manner at room temperature.
