Abstract
For the first time, an NAD+-type earth-abundant metal complex [Zn(pbn)2(H2O)](ClO4)2(1) was found to exhibit photo-induced oxidizing ability to convert various primary and secondary alcohols to the corresponding aldehyde and ketone compounds. In addition, a two-electron-reduced Zn(ii) complex [Zn(pbnH-pbnH)(ClO4)2] (1red) comprising the novel C-C coupling ligand, obtained by the photo-induced oxidation of alcohols by1, was successfully isolated and completely characterized. We clarified that the photochemical oxidation of alcohols by1to produce1redproceedsviaan electron transfer followed by proton transfer mechanism as elucidated by kinetic analysis on the basis of absorption spectroscopic measurements.
