Sustained Fe3+/Fe2+ Cycling Enables Photochemical Defluorination of Perfluoroalkyl Carboxylic Acids via Ligand-to-Metal Charge Transfer

Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are widespread persistent pollutants that threaten environmental and human health. Although Fe3+-mediated ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) has been shown to promote PFAS photochemical defluorination, existing systems rely...
