AI Technical Summary
Existing photocatalysts, such as iridium(III) and ruthenium(II) compounds, are limited in their ability to catalyze organic reactions requiring substrate binding or trapping of radicals due to their octahedral coordination geometry, and gold(I) complexes require high-energy UV light for photocatalysis, limiting their application in large-scale synthesis and substrate scope.
Development of gold(I) complexes that absorb in the near-UV and/or visible light regions, enabling them to catalyze photoredox reactions through substrate binding and trapping of radicals.
The gold(I) complexes achieve higher photocatalytic activity compared to known catalysts, with yields of up to 99% in photo-induced organic reactions under near-UV and visible light conditions.
