Mechanistic investigation of a visible light mediated dehalogenation/cyclisation reaction using iron(<scp>iii</scp>), iridium(<scp>iii</scp>) and ruthenium(<scp>ii</scp>) photosensitizers

Abstract

The identification of reaction mechanisms unique to the iron, ruthenium, and iridium PS represents progress towards the long-sought goal of utilizing earth-abundant, first-row transition metals for emerging energy and environmental applications.
