ChemInform Abstract: Transition Metal Catalysis Involving Cleavages of σ-Bonds Between Group 14 Elements and Characterization of Metal Complexes Relevant to the Catalyst Intermediates
Abstract
The field of photoredox chemistry is dominated by ruthenium- or iridium based metal complexes or organic dyes that are employed as catalysts. Other metal based coordination compounds provide a cost efficient alternative, however, the much shorter excited lifetimes generally observed for such complexes make their application more challenging. Nevertheless, a growing number of successful examples with metal complexes based on chromium, iron, nickel, zirconium, cerium, rhenium, platinum, uranium, and especially on copper exist, which is being reviewed in this chapter.
