In summary, we report on the design of novel strongly oxidizing photocatalysts based on dicationic chromophors. The dications were rapidly assembled by a building block approach from stable carbenes and acridinium salts followed by two-electron oxidation. In contrast to typical organic photocatalysts such as Fukuzumi or Nicewicz catalyst, the here described hybrids feature three or two stable redox states depending on the carbene moiety chosen. We show by X-ray diffraction that upon oxidation, a large structural reorganization takes place which agrees with a potential compression/inversion mechanism in the CV. We subsequently applied the dicationic hybrids as Considering the large amount of available carbenes as well as substituted acridinium salts, this work just opens up a large structural space of readily accessible photocatalysts. Especially the design of dicationic and thus intrinsically electron-deficient photocatalysts is yet unexplored and should be applicable to other chromophore cores. Additionally, photocatalysts with inverted redox potentials have been largely overlooked. We are currently investigating novel applications for such strong oxidative photocatalysts and try to deepen our mechanistic understanding by utilizing multi-electron redox systems as photocatalysts.
