Boosting photocatalytic efficiency of iridium polypyridyl complex in coupling reaction through induction of ferrocene: Insights into bimetallic catalysis A bimetallic compound [Ir(ppy)2(fcbpy)]PF6 (2; ppy = 2-phenylpyridine; fcbpy = 4-ferrocenyl-2,2′-bipyridine) is synthesized and its molecular structure is established by single crystal XRD. Catalytic activity of 2 is probed in coupling of α-ketovinylazides with N,N-dimethylanilines in the presence of light.
