ABSRACT:
Visible light irradiation covers a range of wavelengths that corresponds to 40-70 kcal/mol of energy. While blue and purple light is most common and enabling, the use of these wavelengths has limitations with respect to substrate scope and material penetration. We have developed a suite of Os-based catalysts that undergo spin forbidden excitation directly to the triplet state in the deep red (DR) and near infrared (NIR) range, facilitating low energy excitation for photoredox catalysis. Catalyst discovery, synthetic applications and biological imaging will be discussed.
