Photocatalysis with Transition Metal Based Photosensitizers

Photocatalysis under visible-light irradiation has many applications in organic synthesis and solar fuels. Out of the many photosensitizers that have been used in photocatalysis applications, metal-based photosensitizers are most prominent, given their excellent tunability and performance. In this review, different categories of metal-based photosensitizers are summarized and their function in photocatalytic reactions is described. There are also examples of recently developed photocatalytic applications using these photosensitizers.
