The [2 + 2] photodimerization of chalcones, cinnamates and cinnamamides can be effectively catalyzed by heteroleptic copper(I) complexes. The reactions were carried out under mild reaction conditions and the products were obtained in 20–72% yield under visible light irradiation. The copper-based photocatalyst comprised of the rigid phenanthroline ligand with substituents at the 2,9-positions and the 4,7-positions showed high activity in the photodimerization via an energy transfer pathway.

Of noble descent: A fully noble-metal-free system for the photocatalytic reduction of water at room temperature has been developed. This system consists of CuI complexes as photosensitizers and [Fe3(CO) 12] as the water-reduction catalyst. The novel Cu-based photosensitizers are relatively inexpensive, readily available from commercial sources, and stable to ambient conditions, thus making them an attractive alternative to the widely used noble-metal based systems.
