Photoinduced redox chemistry serves as an extremely useful strategy to accessing thermodynamically challenging products. Metal complexes of period 6 transition metals, such as Ir and Pt, are promising for mediating the photoredox chemistries, because their excited states are long-lived enough to permit highly efficient intermolecular electron exchange. We have been focused on the photoelectrochemical potentials of the cyclometalated complexes of Ir(III) and Pt(II) in a variety of organic transformations. Key advances include photoelectrocatalytic chromism of 1,2-dithienylethene compounds and trifluoromethylation of unactivated arenes and heterocycles. We believe that understanding of the photoelectrochemical functions of the complexes will enable the future development of novel catalysis. |
