1. IntroductionThe brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), is a major pest that has been causing substantial losses in rice production across Asia for decades [1]. BPHs feed on rice phloem sap by using their piercing–sucking mouthparts. Rice plants infested with a BPH population show various symptoms, such as dwarfing, wilting, browning, and drying. In addition, BPHs act as a vector for viral diseases that can lead to the death of rice plants [2,3].

AbstractAryl thianthrenium salts are valuable in photocatalysis but traditionally require external electron donors for activation. This study introduces an energy transfer (EnT) strategy for the activation of aryl thianthrenium salts using 2,3,4,5,6-penta(carbazol-9-yl)benzonitrile (5CzBN) as a metal-free photocatalyst, eliminating the need for external donors.
