Graphical Abstract

Alles was glänzt ist Gold: Stark phosphoreszierende Gold(III)-Komplexe (siehe Bild) mit ausgedehnten π-konjugierten cyclometallierenden Liganden weisen reizvolle photophysikalische und photochemische Eigenschaften auf. Sie sind effiziente Photokatalysatoren/Photosensibilisatoren für oxidative Funktionalisierungen sekundärer und tertiärer benzylischer Amine und die homogene Wasserstofferzeugung aus einer Wasser-Acetonitril-Mischung.
