With the discovery of late transition metal platforms that support clean photoreductive halogen eliminations, we now describe an indazol‐3‐ylidene gold trichloride complex ([7]+) decorated at the 4‐position by a xanthylium unit. This orange complex features a low energy band in the visible part of the spectrum, assigned to the charge transfer excitation of the indazol‐3‐ylidene/xanthylium donor/acceptor dyad. Green‐light irradiation of this complex in the presence of a chlorine trap elicits the clean photoelimination of chlorine radicals, producing the corresponding gold(I) complex. This visible‐light‐induced photoreduction is very efficient, reaching quantum yields close to 10 %. A neutral analog of [7]+featuring an anthryl group rather than a xanthylium unit proved to be perfectly photostable, supporting the importance of the xanthylium‐based photoredox unit present in [7]+.
