Dual Role of MoS₂ Quantum Dots in a Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling Reaction.

ABSTRACT: Modern day research focuses on the development of greener and eco-friendlier protocols to fabricate biologically relevant targets with minimal waste generation. C-C bond formation reactions are of prime importance in this regard. In a typical photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction, three components are used, viz, catalyst, photosensitizer, and sacrificial amine donor. Among these, the photosensitizer and sacrificial amine donors are wasted at the end of the reaction. Considering these drawbacks, in this work, we have developed a methodology targeted at the utilization of sacrificial amine donors for C-H functionalization with MoS₂ quantum dots (QDs) as the catalyst as well as the photosensitizer. QDs indeed emerged to be an active participant in the heterogeneous electron tr
