Iron's abundance and rich coordination chemistry are potentially appealing features for photochemical applications. However, the photoexcitable charge-transfer states of most iron complexes limited by picosecond or subpicosecond deactivation through low-lying metal-centered states, resulting in inefficient electron-transfer reactivity complete lack photoluminescence. In this study, we show that octahedral iron(III) two mono-anionic facial tris-carbene ligands can markedly suppress such...
The iron carbene complex [FeII(btz)3](PF6)2 (where btz = 3,3′-dimethyl-1,1′-bis(p-tolyl)-4,4′-bis(1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene)) has been synthesized, isolated, and characterized as a low-spin ferrous complex. It exhibits strong metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) absorption bands throughout the visible spectrum, excitation of these gives rise to 3MLCT state with 528 ps excited-state lifetime in CH3CN solution that is more than one order magnitude longer compared MLCT any previously reported...

Abstract Activation of Suzuki coupling with a complex palladium varies the mode coordination its ligand. The moisture‐/air‐insensitive palladacycles and complexes designed using same ligand (Schiff base, coordinating as an N,C – N,O ligand, respectively) have been found to follow different pathways. Palladacycles are more efficient, their 0.001 mol‐% loading gives good conversion (yield > 90 %) in several cases. Higher than this is required for Pd obtain similar yield. involves role...
