Visible-light-driven Cr(VI) reduction by ferrocene-integrated conjugated porous polymers via dual catalytic routes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 May 18;57(40):4886-4889. doi: 10.1039/d1cc01079d.

Abstract

Conjugated porous polymers with rapid separation of photogenerated charges and multiple catalytic pathways remain a great challenge. Herein, two ferrocene-based polymers (Fc-CPPs) with high charge separation efficiency and unique dual catalytic routes for Cr(vi) reduction were developed. They exhibited an excellent efficiency, with almost 99% of Cr(vi) readily converted to Cr(iii) under 15 min of visible light illumination (λ > 420 nm).
