Despite the rich photochemistry of 3d‐metal complexes, the utilization of excited‐state
reactivity of these compounds in organic synthesis has been historically overlooked. The …

The selective functionalization of alkanes has long been recognized as a prominent
challenge and an arduous task in organic synthesis. Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) …

Catalytic C (sp3)–H functionalization has provided enormous opportunities to construct
organic molecules, facilitating the derivatization of complex pharmaceutical compounds …

The intermediacy of alkoxy radicals in cerium-catalyzed C–H functionalization via H-atom
abstraction has been unambiguously confirmed. Catalytically relevant Ce (IV)–alkoxide …

Organoboron compounds are of high significance in organic synthesis due to the unique
versatility of boryl substituents to access further modifications. The high demand for the …

Reforming sustainable 3d-metal-based visible light catalytic platforms for inert bulk chemical
activation is highly desirable. Herein, we demonstrate the use of a Brønsted acid to unlock …

The scarcity of 2 nd and 3 rd row transition metals such as ruthenium, iridium, rhodium and
osmium, coupled with a global desire for sustainable chemistry has led to the resurgence of …

We report a photoinduced iron/copper dual-catalytic strategy for the radical decarboxylation
functionalization of aliphatic carboxylic acids. The photoinduced ligand-to-iron charge …

Ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) photocatalysis allows the activation and synthetic
utilization of halides and other heteroatoms in metal complexes. Many metals are known to …

The alkylation and heteroarylation of unactivated tertiary, secondary, and primary C (sp3)–H
bonds was achieved by employing an acridinium photoredox catalyst along with readily …
