AbstractWe report the FeCl3-catalyzed alkylation of nonactivated C(sp3)–H bonds. Photoinduced ligand-to-metal charge transfer at the iron center generates chlorine radicals that then preferentially abstract hydrogen atoms from electron-rich C(sp3)–H bonds distal to electron-withdrawing functional groups. The resultant alkyl radicals are trapped by electron-deficient olefins, and the catalytic cycle is closed by Fe(II) recombination and protodemetalation.

A series of tiara like structural Pdn(SR)2n (5 ≤ n ≤ 20) nanoclusters exhibit emission at 620 nm with excitation at around 268 nm. Their emission is due to ligand to metal charge transfer.
