Abstract
Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for the selective photocatalytic reduction of an alkyne compound to an alkene compound (e.g., acetylene to ethylene).
Claims20
A method of synthesizing an alkene compound from an alkyne compound, comprising:
- providing a first mixture comprising a cobalt(III) porphyrin compound, a photosensitizer, a reducing agent, and water;
- adding an alkyne compound to the first mixture to form a reaction mixture;
- and
- illuminating the reaction mixture with light.
