The long-lived ( B and A2 ) excited states of the d - d dimers [Ιr(μ-pz)(COD)] and P t ( p o p ) 4 , respec­ t i v e l y , undergo a variety of photochemical reactions (pzH is pyrazole; COD i s 1,5-cyclooctadiene; pop is P O H2 , bridging pyrophosphite). Electron transfer reactions to one-electron acceptors such as pyridinium cations or substituted benzophenones are quite f a c i l e with acceptors that have reduction potentials as negative as -2.0 V vs. NHE. With halocarbon acceptors, d -d oxidative addition products are obtained. Several organic substrates with r e l a t i v e l y weak C-H bonds react with the t r i p l e t (dσ*pσ) excited state of Pt (pop)4 by Η-atom transfer. 2
