Abstract:

Complementary to the transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, merging visible light photoredox and nickel catalysis is an enabling strategy for constructing carbon-carbon bonds. With promising potential for future development and applications, this area has been rapidly advancing at the forefront of organic photosynthesis research in recent years. Here we summarize the current state-of-the-art based on mode of reaction designs.

Key words: photoredox, nickel catalysis, carbon-carbon bond, photochemistry
