Upon MLCT photoexcitation, {(tpy)Ru} becomes the electron acceptor in the mixed valence {(tpy˙−)RuIII−δ-NC-MII+δ} moiety, reversing its role as the electron donor in the ground-state mixed valence analogue.

The reversible, weak ground-state aggregate formed by dipole–dipole interactions between an electron donor and an electron acceptor is referred to as an electron-donor–acceptor (EDA) complex. Generally, upon light irradiation, the EDA complex turns into the excited state, causing an electron transfer to give radicals and to initiate subsequent reactions. Besides light as an external energy source, reactions involving the participation of EDA complexes are mild, obviating transition metal catalysts or photosensitizers in the majority of cases and are in line with the theme of green chemistry. This review discusses the synthetic reactions concerned with EDA complexes as well as the mechanisms that have been shown over the past five years.

A series of zinc porphyrins, namely ZnPa and ZnPb, which exist predominantly as aggregates, are utilized in a top-down preparation of individualized and stabilized single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Sizable interactions in the ground state of the corresponding SWCNT/ZnPa and SWCNT/ZnPb electron donor–acceptor systems lead to charge transfer in the excited state. The product includes the simultaneous reduction of the electron-accepting SWCNTs and the oxidation of the electron-donating ZnPa and ZnPb.

A metal- and catalyst-free photoinduced radical cascade hydroalkylation of 1,7-enynes has been disclosed. The process is triggered by a SET event involving a photoexcited electron-donor-aceptor complex between NHPI ester and Hantzsch ester, which decomposes to afford a tertiary radical that is readily trapped by the enyne. <a>The method provides an operationally simple, robust and step-economical approach to the construction of diversely functionalized dihydroquinolinones bearing quaternary-centers. A sequential one-pot hydroalkylation-isomerization approach is also allowed giving access to a family of quinolinones. A wide substrate scope and high functional group tolerance was observed in both approaches</a>.
