Through a rapid screening of Cp*Ir complexes based on a turn-on type fluorescence readout, a [Cp*Ir(dipyrido[3,2-a : 2',3'-c]phenazine)Cl]<sup>+</sup> complex was found to catalyze the blue-light promoted dehydrogenation of <i>N</i>-heterocycles under physiological conditions. In the dehydrogenation of tetrahydroisoquinolines, the catalyst preferentially yielded the monodehydrogenated product, accompanying H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> generation. We surmise that this mechanism may be reminiscent o ...[more]
