Cocatalyst-free dual-functional catalysis for four-electron transfer oxidation of hydrazine induced by an organic p–n bilayer comprising perylene derivative and iron phthalocyanine

Key Points

• The p–n bilayer enables efficient four-electron transfer oxidation of hydrazine, enhancing overall reactions.
• Iron phthalocyanine and perylene derivative function synergistically, demonstrating dual-functional catalytic properties.
• Catalysis occurs without additional cocatalysts, simplifying the reaction conditions considerably.
• This study highlights the potential for organic p–n bilayers to be used in future catalytic applications.
