Abstract

Reaction between concentrated solutions of phenotiazine containing trialdehyde building block 4,4 ',4 ''-(10-phenothiazine-3,7,10-triyl)tribenzaldehyde and (1R,2R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine results in the formation of a yellow transparent film. Exhaustive characterization of this material indicates that it is the result of the assembly of a linear polymer resulting from the linking of imine-based macrocycles. Phenotiazine units confer to this plastic the optical properties characteristic of photocatalytic materials. The transparency of the obtained material enabled the performance of solvent-free photocatalytic processes. This concept is illustrated by the oxidation of liquid organic sulfides, which can be performed in a recyclable manner. According to selective quenching experiments, such processes are the result of the energy transfer to oxygen molecule, generating singlet oxygen that is able to activate the sulfide molecules directly.
