Iridium(iii) polypyridine artificial metalloenzymes with tunable photophysical properties: a new platform for visible light photocatalysis in aqueous solution

Abstract

Artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) can combine the unique features of both metal complexes and enzymes by incorporating a cofactor within a protein scaffold. Herein, we describe a panel of ArMs constructed...

Recent advances in porous molecular cages for photocatalytic organic conversions

“…Consequently, there has been a recent surge in the use of iridium complexes as light-emitting devices within discrete cage structures. 110–112 Researchers have focused on the preparation of photoactive Ir( iii ) cages and their application in photocatalytic organic conversion. The Fujita group has developed a cage-based photocatalyst ( Δ/Λ-3 ) using Ir( iii ) as a metal node.…”
