Abstract
Over the last decade, visible light photocatalysis has dramatically increased the arsenal of methods for organic synthesis and changed the way we activate molecules for chemical reactions. Polypyridyl transition metal complexes, redox-active organic dyes, and inorganic semiconductors are typically used as photocatalysts for such transformations. This chapter reviews the applications of radical anions and anions as photosensitizers in visible light photoredox catalysis.
Visible light organophotoredox catalysis has emerged as an invaluable tool for organic synthetic transformations since it works brilliantly in tandem with organic substrates and has been known to create unique chemical environment for organic transformations. Dicyanopyrazine (DPZ), a relatively lesser researched organophotoredox catalyst, has shown great potential through its catalytic activity in organic synthesis and necessitates attention of synthetic community.
