We present here a review of the photochemical and electrochemical applications of multi-
site proton-coupled electron transfer (MS-PCET) in organic synthesis. MS-PCETs are redox …

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions are fundamental to energy transformation
reactions in natural and artificial systems and are increasingly recognized in areas such as …

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions are a kind of unconventional redox
reactions, which exhibit special reactivities and selectivities due to their unique …

Here we present a detailed kinetic study of the multisite proton-coupled electron transfer (MS-
PCET) activations of aryl ketones using a variety of Brønsted acids and excited-state Ir (III) …

Transition metal–oxo complexes are key intermediates in a variety of oxidative
transformations, notably C–H bond activation. The relative rate of C–H bond activation …

The selective transformation of C–H bonds is a longstanding challenge in modern chemistry.
A recent report details C–H oxidation via multiple-site concerted proton–electron transfer …

Rate-driving force relationships, known as Brønsted–Evans–Polanyi (BEP) relations, are
central to many methods for predicting the performance of heterogeneous catalysts and …

Herein, we report direct electrochemical C (sp3)–H lactonization of 2-alkylbenzoic acids
toward phthalides. The reaction provides a wide substrate scope of 2-alkylbenzoic acids …

A mild and practical C (sp3)–H lactonization protocol has been achieved by merging
photocatalysis and magnesium (iron, nickel) catalysis. A diverse range of 2-alkylbenzoic …

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) was studied in a series of tungsten hydride
complexes with pendant pyridyl arms ([(PyCH2Cp) WH (CO) 3], PyCH2Cp …
