Luminescent cyclometalated gold(iii) complexes covalently linked to metal-organic frameworks for heterogeneous photocatalysis.

ABSTRACT: Phosphorescent gold(iii) complexes possess long-lived emissive excited states, making them ideal for use as molecular sensors and photosensitizers for organic transformations. Literature reports indicate that gold(iii) emitters exhibit good catalytic activity in homogeneous photochemical reactions. Heterogeneous metal-organic framework (MOF)-supported gold(iii) photocatalysts are considered to show high recyclability in photochemical reactions and potentially provide new selectivities. Here, we report the design and development of visible-light-absorbing MOF-covalently linked gold(iii) photocatalysts. A MOF-supported gold(iii) complex exhibits a longer phosphorescence lifetime than its homogeneous counterpart, reaching approximately 110 μs under argon and 12 μs under air when suspended in
