Figure 2: Photo-driven C–H trifluoromethylation of substituted benzenes and nitrogen-containing heteroarenes.

Standard reaction conditions: substrates (0.5 mmol), 0.1 wt% Rh/anatase TiO2 NPs (20 mol%), Na2S2O8 (10-40 mol%), TFA (10–15 ml), 365 nm ultraviolet, room temperature, 24 h. Yields were determined by 19F NMR spectrum. †Isolated yield.
