Abstract

Photoredox catalysis has evolved as an attractive approach to enable a wide variety of chemical reactions with high selectivity under mild conditions. The development of novel photocatalytic systems is key to obtaining new reactivity and improving their catalytic performances. In this context, cost-effective organic anion-based photocatalysts have recently attracted increasing interest. In particular, sulfur-based anionic catalysts are of interest due to their unique redox properties. This Perspective highlights and discusses recent advances in light-induced single-electron-transfer processes directly involving sulfur anions as catalysts. The content of this Perspective is organized along the different photoinduced electron-transfer pathways between catalysts and substrates.
