Currently, the most popular molecular photosensitizers used for synthetic organic chemistry and energy applications are still the noble metal-based ruthenium and iridium complexes that usually require expensive metal and ligand precursors. In contrast, bis(arylimino)acenaphthene (Ar-BIAN) are establ...
