Metal-supported and -assisted stereoselective cooperative photoredox catalysis

Abstract

In this perspective, we review those stereoselective photocatalytic reactions that use synergy between photoredox catalysts and transition metal catalysts. In particular, we highlight the orchestrated interaction between two and more metals which not only enhance the turnover numbers, but also lead to increased selectivities. Aspects of green chemistry and sustainable developments are included. In this review, C-C, C-O, C-N and C-S forming reactions are discussed and a perspective on future developments is given.
