The design of earth-abundant molecular photosensitizers with desirable photophysical properties and good excited-state reactivity is critical for sustainable photochemical applications. Herein, we report a new family of three-coordinate heteroleptic Cu(i) complexes supported by monoanionic salicylaldimine (N^O) chelating ligands and aryl isocyanides. By systematically tuning the steric bulk on each ligand, we establish clear structure-property relationships that govern the excited-state lifetimes and photocatalytic performance metrics of these complexes. Increasing steric congestion on the salicylaldimine ligand, which contributes to the HOMO, results in faster nonradiative decay and shortens excited-state lifetimes. In contrast, introducing steric bulk on the isocyanide ligand, where the LUMO is primarily localized, suppresses nonradiative decay, most likely by inhibiting excited-state geometric relaxation, thereby extending the lifetime up to 375 ns. These photophysical trends correlate directly with performance in triplet-triplet energy transfer (TTET) photocatalysis, where longer-lived complexes enable faster E/Z isomerization of trans-stilbene. This work demonstrates that remote steric modulation of ligand frameworks offers a simple yet powerful strategy for tuning the excited-state dynamics and catalytic properties of this new class of Cu(i) photosensitizers.
