The phosphine-anthracene ligand 1, 8-bis(diphenylphosphine) anthracene (Hbdpa) and its complexes[Au(Hbdpa)₂]PF₆ (1) and [Ir(tpy)(bdpa)](PF₆)₂ (2) were synthesized, where tpy=2, 2′∶6′, 2″-tripyridine. Upon light irradiation, these compounds underwent photoreaction, yielding Hbdpa-2O, [Au(Hbdpa-O)₂]PF₆ (1-O) and [Ir(tpy)(bdpa-OH)](PF₆)₂ (2-OH). NMR, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography characterized the structures of these compounds. We discussed the photoreaction characteristics of compounds Hbdpa, 1, and 2, as well as the associated luminescence modulation. We found that the coordination with Au(Ⅰ) or Ir(Ⅲ) enhanced the photoreaction activity of the ligand Hbdpa. Moreover, complex 2 is the first Ir(Ⅲ) complex in which an anthracene unit participates in coordination and exhibits a light-induced dearomatization reaction, leading to the formation of complex 2-OH.
