Designing Mn(I), Fe(II) and Mn(II) tris(diisocyanide) complexes
First-row transition metal complexes are considered a more sustainable and cheaper alternative to ruthenium in photoredox-active complexes. However, the fast excited state relaxation of complexes based on first-row transition metals hinders direct replacement of Ru(II) with its 3d6 counterparts Mn(I) and Fe(II). Diisocyanide ligands have previously been used to achieve photostable 3d6 complexes wh
