Herein, we report a new class of electrophotocatalysts, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,
that promote the reduction of unactivated carbonyl compounds to generate versatile ketyl …

Photoredox catalysis (PRC) has gained enormous and wide-ranging interest in recent years
but has also been subject to significant mechanistic uncertainty, even controversy. To …

Photoredox catalysis typically relies on the use of single chromophores, whereas strategies,
in which two different light absorbers are combined, are rare. In photosystems I and II of …

Alkenylboronates are versatile building blocks for stereocontrolled synthesis owing to the
traceless nature of the boron group that can be leveraged to achieve highly selective …

Strong reducing agents (<− 2.0 V vs saturated calomel electrode (SCE)) enable a wide array
of useful organic chemistry, but suffer from a variety of limitations. Stoichiometric metallic …
