Abstract

Visible-light harvesting cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes were used as (1)O(2) sensitizers for the photooxidation of 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) and substantially improved photooxidation capability was observed compared to the conventional Ir(III) complex sensitizers that show no visible light-harvesting capabilities.
