Abstract

Direct photocatalytic C-H activation mediated by MoO2Cl2(bpy-^tBu), a unique photoactive metal oxo, is presented. The limiting step, reoxidation to the Mo dioxo, is evaluated and proposed to occur via a key Cl⁻ loss event. Photocatalyst degradation occurs upon substitution of bpy-^tBu with H2O generated during catalysis.
