Luminescent organogold(III) complexes with long-lived triplet excited states for light-induced oxidative C-H bond functionalization and hydrogen production.
All that glitters is gold: highly phosphorescent gold(III) complexes with extended π-conjugated cyclometalating ligands exhibit rich photophysical and photochemical properties. They act as efficient photocatalysts/photosensitizers for oxidative functionalizations of secondary and tertiary benzylic amines and homogeneous hydrogen production from a water/acetonitrile mixture.
