Overview

Novel Ir(III) photocatalysts enable effective hydrocarboxylation of alkenes and arenes, suggesting broader applications.

Key Points

  • Photocatalysis achieves high yields of up to 95% when using newly developed Ir(III) catalysts.
  • These catalysts exhibit maximum absorption between 485-499 nm, facilitating blue-light activation.
  • The mechanistic study reveals a novel process involving hydrogen atom transfer and Ir(III) homolysis.
  • With over 50 examples explored, the broad scope suggests promising future applications for these photocatalysts.
