Excited-state tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane as a strong single-electron oxidant: Photophysical properties and catalysis

The photophysical properties and photocatalysis of tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane [B(C6F5)3], known as a strong Lewis acid, were revealed. The excited-state B(C6F5)3 exerts single-electron oxidation capability with an oxidation potential (Ered* = 2.02 V vs SCE) close to those of electronically unbias...
