The hexachlorocerate(III) anion, [Ce III Cl 6 ] 3- , was found to be a potent photoreductant in acetonitrile solution with an estimated excited-state reduction potential of -3.45 V versus Cp 2 Fe 0/+ . Despite a short lifetime of 22.1(1) ns, the anion exhibited a photoluminescence quantum yield of 0.61(4) and fast quenching kinetics toward organohalogens allowing for its application in the photocatalytic reduction of aryl chloride substrates.
