Key Points

The aim is to control the reactivity of Lewis acids by using a modified Brønsted photoacid.
Utilized a novel Brønsted photoacid for the control of Lewis acid reactivity.
Applied photochemical techniques to induce CO2 release.
Explored the mechanisms involved in the release process.
Successfully demonstrated CO2 photorelease using the engineered photoacid.
Achieved efficient control over Lewis acid reactivity.
Showed significant improvement in reactivity modulation compared to traditional methods.

Implication

Demonstrates effective CO2 release using photoacid to manage lewis acid reactivity.

Abstract

Controlling reactivity using light remains an important goal in chemistry. Since acid-base reactions are central to nearly all chemical phenomena, photoacids are important molecules for controlling reactivity. Conventional photoacids release...
