The photocatalytic deoxygenation of sulfoxides to generate sulfides facilitated by either Ir[(dF(CF<sub>3</sub>)ppy)<sub>2</sub>(dtbbpy)]PF<sub>6</sub> or <i>fac</i>-Ir(ppy)<sub>3</sub> is reported. Mechanistic studies indicate that a radical chain mechanism operates, which proceeds via a phosphoranyl radical generated from a radical/polar crossover process. Initiation of the radical chain was found to proceed via two opposing photocatalytic quenching mechanisms, offering complementary reactivit ...[more]
