[4,4'-Bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2,2'-bipyridine-κN,κN]bis[3,5-difluoro-2-(5-methyl-2-pyridinyl)phenyl] iridium hexafluorophosphate, 98%

[Ir(dF(Me)ppy)2(dtbbpy)]PF6

[Ir(dF(Me)ppy)2(dtbbpy)]PF6 is a heterocyclic compound that acts as a photocatalyst. It has been shown to be efficient and modular, which allows for the use of different reaction mechanisms. This compound undergoes homolytic cleavage when irradiated with light, leading to the formation of two free radicals that react in a stepwise manner to produce ethylbenzene and acetophenones. The mechanistic transfer pathway can be observed by observing the triplet state of Ir(dF(Me)ppy)2 (dtbbpy).
