Abstract

One central research goal for modern organic chemistry in society is to develop sustainable synthetic methodologies. Visible-light-induced transformations that apply earth-abundant metals as catalysts are a good reply to this concern. In this short review, recent developments of organic photocatalysis applying iron group metal catalysts (Fe, Co, Ni) are discussed. Reaction types, the catalyst details, and mechanisms are introduced.
