Photocatalyzed and photosensitized chemical processes have seen growing interest
recently and have become among the most active areas of chemical research, notably due …

Photoactive Cu (I) complexes are considered as a promising alternative to traditional noble-
metal complexes that are mainly based on Ru (II) and Ir (III). Therefore, in recent years …

Synthetic organic chemistry has seen major advances due to the merger of nickel and
photoredox catalysis. A growing number of Ni-photoredox reactions are proposed to involve …

1. Introduction A photon is at the same time a quantum of energy and a bit ofinformation. The
interaction of light with “matter” can therefore be used for energy or information purposes …

The term helicate was introduced by Lehn and coworkers in 1987 for the description of a
polymetallic helical double-stranded complex, in effect a metalcontaining helix. 1 It is formed …

Over the past two decades the photochemical and photophysical properties of Cu (I)–
phenanthrolines ([Cu (NN) 2]+) have been investigated in detail. A high degree of control of …

Cu (I) complexes and clusters are the largest class of compounds of relevant photochemical
and photophysical interest based on a relatively abundant metal element. Interestingly …

Highly luminescent Cu I complexes with one phenanthroline and one (bis [2‐
(diphenylphosphino) phenyl] ether) ligand show an emission quantum yield of up to 28 …

Three different multicomponent molecular systems have been synthesized by means of the
three-dimensional template effect of copper (I). These systems incorporate both a …

A new homoleptic Cu (I) photosensitizer,[Cu (dsbtmp) 2]+(dsbtmp= 2, 9-di (sec-butyl)-3, 4, 7,
8-tetramethyl-1, 10-phenanthroline), designed to exhibit cooperative steric hindrance …
