Abstract
Facilitating photoredox coupling reactions in process-friendly green solvents was achieved by the successful application of a dual Ir/Ni catalyst system with enhanced solubility properties. These photochemical reactions (specifically Br–Br sp2–sp3 cross electrophile coupling) are reported in a head to head comparison to the standard di-t-Bu bipyridine ligand Ir/Ni catalyst system. This presentation highlights the benefits of altering the solubility properties of the ligands used in the Ir/Ni dual catalyst.
