Visible-Light-Driven C–F Bond Cleavage in Perfluoroalkyl Carboxylic Acids: Readily Accessible Ruthenium-Bipyridine Complexes as Effective Catalysts

Abstract Herein, we report the reaction discovery and mechanistic studies of a visible-light-driven defluorination reaction of perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs), a major class of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) widely present in the environment that pose significant health...
