Red-Light-Activated Dual Photocatalytic ATRP of Methacrylates and Acrylates Enabled by Copper Phthalocyanines

Abstract Copper phthalocyanines (Pc) represent a promising yet underexplored class of low-cost and photostable dyes for visible-light-mediated polymerizations. In this study, we demonstrate that copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and its derivatives efficiently mediate dual photocataly...

Catalytic Anionic Substituents Effects as Selectivity Mediators in Photocatalytic Hydrogen Atom Transfers

ABSTRACT Photo‐induced hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalysis has become a powerful platform for the direct and selective functionalization of ubiquitous C─H bonds. Traditionally, the outcome of these transformations is dictated by the interplay between C─H bond dissociation ener...
