Highly Crystalline Ag‐based Coordination Polymers for Efficient Photocatalytic Oxidation of Sulfides.

Coordination polymers (CPs) display great potential for the development of highly active photocatalysts. Herein, we report the fabrication of a highly crystalline CP, [Ag2BTT]n (BTT=benzene‐1,2,4,5‐tetrathiol). The crystal structure of [Ag2BTT]n was resolved and its performance for photocatalytic oxidation of thioanisole was explored. [Ag2BTT]n is highly active and selective for the photo‐oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides under mild conditions, that is, in air, at room temperature and in the absence of a sacrificial reagent, co‐catalyst or redox mediator.
