Over the past decade, chemists have embraced visible-light photoredox catalysis due to its remarkable ability to activate small molecules. Broadly, these methods employ metal complexes or organic dyes to convert visible light into chemical energy. Unfortunately, the excitation of widely utilized Ru and Ir chromophores is energetically wasteful as ∼25% of light energy is lost thermally before being quenched productively. Hence, photoredox methodologies require high-energy, intense light to accomm ...[more]
