Pyrene-based metal-organic framework NU-1000 photocatalysed atom-transfer radical addition for iodoperfluoroalkylation and (Z)-selective perfluoroalkylation of olefins by visible-light irradiation.

ABSTRACT: The photocatalytic atom-transfer radical addition (ATRA) of perfluoroalkyl iodides onto olefins is of potential biointerest; the relatively negative reductive potential of perfluoroalkyl iodide makes it difficult to generate the perfluoroalkyl radical by the photoinduced single-electron transfer from the excited state of the photocatalyst. In the presence of the easily available well-known pyrene-based metal-organic framework (MOF) NU-1000, the ATRA was achieved for iodoperfluooralkylation of olefins in a heterogeneous mode upon 405 nm visible-light irradiation with LEDs. The investigation supports a mechanism whereby the pyrene-based chromophores within NU-1000 photochemically generate the reactive radical species by sensitisation of the perfluoroalkyl iodides through an energy-transfer (
