Abstract
Metallaphotoredox catalysis merges the powerful bond-forming abilities of transition metal catalysis with unique electron or energy transfer pathways accessible in photoexcited states, injecting new vitality into organic synthesis. However, most transition metal catalysts cannot be excited by visible light. Thus, prevalent metallaphotoredox catalytic systems require dual catalysts: a transition metal catalyst and a separate photosensitizer. This leads to inefficient electron transfer between these two low-concentration catalytic species, which often limits overall photocatalytic performance. Single-atom site catalysts (SASCs) offer a promising solution, wherein isolated and quasi-homogeneous transition metal sites are anchored on heterogeneous supports. When semiconductors are employed as the support, the photosensitive unit and transition metal catalytic site can be integrated into one…
