Recent advances in mono and binuclear gold photoredox catalysis

Abstract

In this minireview, recent developments in the field of photoredox catalysis and the applications of mono and binuclear Au(I) complexes in organic transformations are discussed. More specifically, a brief introduction of the photophysical properties of the dimeric gold(I) complexes will be provided along with an overview of their mechanism and reactivity with a variety of organic substrates based on their ability to undergo reductive quenching, oxidative quenching and dual catalytic pathways. The minireview aims to provide readers with background knowledge, mechanistic understanding, and leading-edge reactivity in the hope of facilitating future studies that push the boundaries of this growing field.
