Standard condition: PS (0.5 mM), xantphos ligand (1.0 mM), phenol (5.0 v%), and BIH (50 mM) in 4 mL CH3CN/TEA (v:v = 5:1) within 3 h of 425 nm irradiation (20 mW cm–2) under 1 atm CO2. The errors represent the standard deviations of three independent measurements.
Calculated for the TON values based on the catalyst amount (0.4 μmol).
Calculated for the TON values based on the PS amount (4.0 μmol).
