An effective visible-light-promoted iridium­(III)-catalyzed hydrogen production from N-heterocycles is described. A single iridium complex constitutes the photocatalytic system playing a dual task, harvesting visible-light and facilitating C–H cleavage and H2 formation at room temperature and withou...
