Abstract:
The cationic [Pb4(OH)4]4+ cubane as a template was first introduced to the 3D iodocuprate network, which is fabricated from the alternative connection of infinite [Cu2I2] n chains and μ2-I linkers. Distinct from most of the photocatalysts with UV or visible light for the photocatalytic degradation of an organic pollutant, the target compound could accomplish this task under direct sunlight because of the introduction of photoactive species. Our work provides a promising strategy to generate superior photocatalysts via the encapsulation of photoactive units into open frameworks.

Amides to Amines: LiAlH4 Reduction
Amide reduction requires two equivalents of the reducing agent, acting as a source of hydride ions. As shown in the figure, the reaction is initiated with a nucleophilic attack by the hydride ion at the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate.

Nitriles to Amines: LiAlH4 Reduction
As shown below, the mechanism involves three steps. Firstly, the hydride ion acting as a nucleophile attacks the nitrile carbon to form an anion. In the second step, a second equivalent of the hydride ion attacks the anion to...
Acid Halides to Alcohols: LiAlH4 Reduction
The mechanism proceeds in three steps. First, the nucleophilic hydride ion attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acid halide to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Next, the carbonyl group is re-formed, and the halide ion departs as a leaving group, generating an aldehyde. A second nucleophilic attack by the hydride yields an alkoxide ion, which, upon protonation, gives a primary alcohol as...
