Gold(i) complexes as powerful photosensitizers – a visionary frontier perspective

Abstract

Singlet oxygen production and its reactivity have significant implications in fields ranging from polymer science to photodynamic therapy. Extensive research has focused on the development of organic-based materials and heavy metal complexes, including Ru(II), Rh(III), Ir(III) and Pt(II). However, metal complexes containing Au(I) have been scarcely explored and warrant further investigation. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of reported compounds, classified based on the ligands coordinated to the gold(I) centre. Additionally, future directions in photosensitizer development and singlet oxygen applications are discussed.
