Graphical Abstract
Visible-light promoted molecular transformations catalyzed by bimetallic species containing [Ru(bipy)3]2+ (TB) as the photosensitizing unit are reviewed. The photo-induced electron/energy transfer ability of the TB unit combined with the function of a second metal center successfully leads to development of catalytic transformations of not only small inorganic molecules but also organic transformations including up-hill transformation and C–C bond formation.
