Synthetic photobiocatalysts are promising catalysts for valuable chemical transformations by harnessing solar energy inspired by natural photosynthesis. However, the synergistic integration of all of the components for efficient light harvesting, cascade electron transfer, and efficient biocatalytic reactions presents a formidable challenge.
The systematic, autonomous optimization of discrete reaction parameters in organic synthesis remains unexplored, offering the potential to revolutionize synthetic methodology and expand the scope and efficiency of reaction development.
Autonomous laboratories can accelerate discoveries in chemical synthesis, but this requires automated measurements coupled with reliable decision-making.
