Pt(IV) complexes trans-Pt(PEt3)2(R)(Br)3 (R = Br, aryl and polycyclic aromatic fragments) photoeliminate molecular bromine with quantum yields as high as 82%. Photoelimination occurs both in the solid state and in solution. Calorimetry measurements and DFT calculations (PMe3 analogs) indicate endothermic and endergonic photoeliminations with free energies from 2 to 22 kcal/mol of Br2. Solution trapping experiments with high concentrations of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene suggest a radical-like excited state precursor to bromine elimination.

Non-transition metal-catalyzed synthesis of phenacyl bromides was achieved through K2S2O8-mediated tandem hydroxybromination and oxidation of styrenes. The advantages of this reaction are its excellent functional group compatibility, mild reaction conditions (60 °C) and use of pure water as reaction medium. Based upon experimental observations, a plausible reaction mechanism is proposed.

Monomeric complexes of the type Au III (PR 3 )X 3 and bimetallic complexes of the type Au 2 I,III [μCH 2 (R 2 P) 2 ]X 4 and Au 2 III,III [μ-CH 2 (R 2 P) 2 ]X 6 (R = Ph, Cy, X = Cl - , Br - ) undergo facile photoelimination of halogen. M-X bond activation and halogen elimination is achieved upon LMCT excitation of solutions of Au III complexes in the presence of olefin chemical traps. As opposed to the typical one-electron redox transformations of LMCT photochemistry, the LMCT photochemistry of the Au III centers allows for theunprecedented (i) two-electron photoelimination of X 2 from a monomeric center and (ii) four-electron photoelimination of X 2 from a bimetalllic center. The quantum yields for X 2 photoproduction, in general, are between 10percent and 20percent for all species, showing only minimal dependence on the identity of the ligands about gold, or the nuclearity of the complex. Efficient X 2 photoelimination is observed in the absence of a chemical trap, providing a rare example of authentic, trap-free halogen elimination from a transitionmetal center.
