Rose Bengal Immobilized on Supported Ionic‐Liquid‐like Phases: An Efficient Photocatalyst for Batch and Flow Processes

: The catalytic activity of Rose Bengal (RB) immobilized on supported ionic liquid (IL)-like phases was evaluated as a polymer-supported photocatalyst. In these systems, the polymer was designed to play a pivotal role. The polymeric backbone adequately modified with IL-like moieties (supported IL-like phases, SILLPs) was not just an inert support for the dye but controlled the accessibility of reagents/substrates to the active sites and provided specific microenvironments for the reaction. The structure of SILLPs could be finetuned to adjust the catalytic efficiency of the RB-SILLP composites, achieving systems that were more active and stable than the related systems in the absence of IL-like units.
