In the recent past, visible-light-mediated photoredox catalysis has made a huge impact on the development of new synthetic methods under very mild and ecologically benign conditions. Although semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots (QDs) possess suitable optoelectronic and redox properties for photoredox catalytic applications, surprisingly, their use for the activation of challenging chemical bonds in the synthesis of organic molecules is little explored. We report here the application of ZnSe/CdS core/shell QDs for the synthetically important photoredox catalytic activation of carbon halogen bonds in dehalogenation and C-H arylation reactions using (hetero)aryl halides as bench-stable inexpensive bulk starting materials, under very mild reaction conditions. The outstanding catalytic activity of ZnSe/CdS core/shell QDs is a direct consequence of the high specific surface area and homogeneity of QDs in solution and their high photostability toward oxidation.
