The challenging synthesis of thermodynamic-unfavored cis-olefins through catalytic cross-coupling reactions requires the synergistic interaction of substrate activating units and configuration-regulating catalysts. Herein, the authors report a photoredox access to Z-alkenes from alkynes and light alkanes with a bifunctional iron-catalyzed system.
