Abstract

Two photosystems are developed to harvest visible-light photons into electrons via sequential electron transfer processes. Photosystem-A (PS-A) consisted of DCA as light harvesting electron acceptor and Ph3P as sacrificial electron donor, whereas photosystem-B (PS-B) employed DCA as usual electron acceptor, DMN as a primary electron donor, and ascorbic acid as a secondary and sacrificial electron donor. α, β-Unsaturated ketones are ...
