  • Descrição: Titanium and zirconium complexes carrying two 2,6-bis­(pyrrolyl)­pyridine ligands have been synthesized and characterized. The neutral complexes Ti­(MePDP)2 and Zr­(MePDP)2 (MePDP = 2,6-bis­(5-methyl-3-phenyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)­pyridine) show intense ligand-to-metal charge-transfer bands in the visible region and undergo multiple reversible redox events under highly reducing conditions. Zr­(MePDP)2 exhibits photoluminescent behavior and its excited state can be quenched by mild reductants to generate a powerful electron transfer reagent with a ground state potential of −2.16 V vs Fc+/0. This reactivity was utilized to facilitate dehalogenation reactions, the reduction of electron-poor olefins, and the reductive coupling of benzyl bromide via photoredox catalysis. In these reactions, the earth-abundant metal complex Zr­(MePDP)2 acts as a substitute for the precious metal photosensitizer [Ru­(bpy)3]2+.
