Efficient photoredox catalysis in C-C cross-coupling reactions by two-coordinated Au(I) complex.

ABSTRACT: Photocatalysis provides a versatile approach to redox activation of various organic substrates for synthetic applications. To broaden the scope of photoredox catalysis, developing catalysts with strong oxidizing or reducing power in the excited state is imperative. Catalysts that feature highly cathodic oxidation potentials and long lifetimes in their excited states are particularly in demand. In this research, we demonstrate the catalytic utility of two-coordinate Au(I) complex photocatalysts that exhibit an exclusive ligand-to-ligand charge-transfer (LLCT) transition in C-C cross-coupling reactions between N-heterocycles and (hetero)aryl halides, including redox-resistant (hetero)aryl chlorides. Our photocatalysis system can steer reactions under visible-light irradiation at a catalyst l
