The title complexes were doped into polycarbonate matrices together with triphenylamine, a hole‐transport compound, in order to study their photosensitizing properties. Complexes based on 1 exhibited strong absorption in the visible spectrum due to the presence of a metal–ligand charge‐transfer transition and were able to enhance the sensitivity in this region; the best enhancement was found when Ar is a p ‐flurophenyl group.
