Increased environmental and impurity restrictions on consumer products, also the desire to reduce the cost and energy requirements of chemical transformations, have established a critical need for the development of more selective and efficient catalysts. An attractive approach to addressing this need is the use of catalysts that exhibits switchable reactivity. Several commonly employed methods to change catalyst reactivity post-synthesis include the manipulation of pH, photoactivation, or even changes in solvent. This talk will discuss the synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of new BODIPY-containing ligand scaffolds that are capable of manipulating metal complex reactivity through exposure to light and ligand-based redox events.
