Abstract
AbstractComplexes [(bpy)2Ru(BL)](PF6)2 (Ru(BL), BL=N,N‐di(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐1,10‐phenanthrolinamine) have been investigated in the coupling reaction of aryl halides and sodium arylsulfinates under visible light irradiation. The position (3, 4 or 5) of the nickel‐coordinating di(pyridin‐2‐yl)amine fragment in the 1,10‐phenanthroline core has a strong influence on the activity of the catalytic system. The advantage of binding fragments of photocatalyst and metal complex into one molecule in the systems with bridging ligands N,N‐di(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐1,10‐phenanthrolin‐3‐amine (BL1) and N,N‐di(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐1,10‐phenanthrolin‐4‐amine (BL2), in comparison with mixed catalytic systems, is shown. With Ru(BL2) photocatalysts it is possible to reduce the loading to 0.1 mol%, instead of the commonly used 1–2 mol%, and to eliminate the use of the additional ligand for nickel. Under these conditions, more than 20 diarylsulfones of different structures were synthesized in 25–95% yields.
