The concept of strain in organic compounds is as old as modern organic chemistry and was
initially introduced to justify the synthetic setbacks along the synthesis of small ring systems …

Redox processes are at the heart of synthetic methods that rely on either electrochemistry or
photoredox catalysis, but how do electrochemistry and photoredox catalysis compare? Both …

High value utilization of carbon dioxide (CO2) has attracted worldwide attention for decades.
Catalytic carboxylation of alkenes with CO2 to synthesize valuable carboxylic acids and …

Dearomative photocycloadditions are valuable chemical transformations, serving as an
efficient platform to create three-dimensional molecular complexity. However, the …

Over the past decade, the use of photocatalysts (PCs) in controlled polymerization has

Using light to control matter has captured the imagination of scientists for generations, as
there is an abundance of photons at our disposal. Yet delivering photons beyond the surface …

Homogeneous organic photocatalysis typically requires molecular photosensitizers
absorbing in the ultraviolet–visible (UV/vis) region, because UV/vis photons possess the …

We describe a photocatalytic system that elicits potent photoreductant activity from
conventional photocatalysts by leveraging radical anion intermediates generated in situ. The …

Conspectus Photon upconversion, the process of converting low-energy photons into high-
