All that glitters is gold : Highly phosphorescent gold(III) complexes (see picture) with extended π‐conjugated cyclometalating ligands exhibit rich photophysical and photochemical properties. They act as efficient photocatalysts/photosensitizers for oxidative functionalizations of secondary and tertiary benzylic amines and homogeneous hydrogen production from a water/acetonitrile mixture.
