This result validates that the catalyst stays active for three consecutive catalytic runs and further encouraged us to check the catalyst's recovery ability after successful catalysis. We also performed a control experiment to check if the catalyst remains intact throughout the catalysis. The catalyst loading was increased to 40 mol% under otherwise identical photocatalysis conditions. 1 H NMR in CD3CN of the reaction mixture showed a clean conversion with an unaltered catalyst structure (Figure ), indicating good stability in the reaction mixture and disfavoring an assumption in which a decomposition product could be photochemically active. Finally, we also investigated the influence of the catalyst's counter anion, but noticed no significant influence on the performance employing dicationic catalysts 4a 2+ with two SbF6 -(93%) or BF4 -(88%) counter anions. Additionally, it was tested if we could start the catalysis directly from the neutral oxidation state of the catalyst. Employing neutral 4a, we only achieved a 25% yield of the desired C-N coupled product, confirming the need for dication-based catalysts (Figure ).
