Mimicking the active site and substrate binding cavity of enzymes to achieve specificity in catalytic reactions is an important challenge. The research group of Professor Fang Yu of Hunan University has newly developed a phenothiazine-based octahedral porous coordination cage supramolecular photocatalytic material (PCC-6-M), which regulates the generation path of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the metal center. Its application in different photocatalytic oxidation reactions was explored [1][1][1]

Fang Yu is currently a professor at the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Hunan University. He received a master's degree in chemistry from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2010. In March 2014, he graduated with a Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo, Japan. From 2014 to 2015, he continued to engage in postdoctoral research at the University of Tokyo, Japan. From April 2015 to September 2019, he engaged in postdoctoral research at Texas A&M University in the United States. During his graduate studies and postdoctoral work, he mainly focused on the research of "graded pore coordination materials" (pore size 2-50 nanometers), focusing on the construction of new porous coordination cages (PCC) and mesoporous metal-organic frameworks (mMOF) , adjust its pore structure, control the loading and assembly of guest molecules in the pores, and make progress in improving the conversion and loading of energy gases and anti-cancer nanotherapy.

J&K Scientific exclusively supplies three types of supramolecular photocatalysts (PCC-6-M) developed by Professor Fang Yu’s research group at Hunan University. The product advantages are as follows:

The types of reactive oxygen species involved in the reaction can be adjusted as needed;
Stable in nature and easy to store;
Wide range of applications and efficient response.
