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 …

Important fractions of the energy absorbed in natural and artificial photosynthetic schemes
are dissipated via fast internal conversion processes. In contrast, chromophores that …

Anions are the reduced form of precatalysts that are a special type of photoredox catalyst,
unlike traditional iridium or ruthenium complexes. Among them, radical anions often have …

Some of the fundamentals of quantum information science are described, including the
concepts of quantum resources, quantum states and mixedness of states. The explanations …

Metallaaromatics are an important class of aromatic compounds, showing diverse and
interesting aromatic properties. Radical rhenabenzofurans 1–3 with a fused …

Open shell species are alluring significant attention owing to their unique physiochemical
properties in redox chemistry for activating remarkably stable bonds. Solvated electrons are …

Photoredox catalysis has flourished in recent years, but due to its widespread utility
applications have grown faster than mechanistic understanding. In this report we help to …

Photoredox catalysis is a powerful tool to access challenging and diverse syntheses.
Absorption of visible light forms the excited state catalyst (* PC) but photons may be wasted …

Assemblies of photoredox catalysts and their target substrates prior to photoexcitation is a
phenomenon naïvely overlooked by the majority of synthetic chemists, but can have …
