Photocatalysis: A Green Tool for Redox Reactions
We are very grateful to the DEHAUSSE Fellowship of the Department of Chemistry, University of Antwerp, for supporting Mr. Robin Cauwenbergh, and for a Francqui lecturer award to Professor Shoubhik Das.
Abstract
Reduction-and-oxidation (redox) reactions are one of the most utilized approaches for the synthesis of value-added compounds. With the growing awareness of green chemistry, researchers have searched for new and sustainable pathways for performing redox reactions. From this, a new field has gained tremendous attention, namely photoredox catalysis. Here, molecules can be easily oxidized or reduced with the use of one of Nature’s biggest resources: visible light. This tutorial paper gives the basics of photoredox catalysis along with limited examples to encourage further research in this blooming research area.
