Photocatalysis enables many appealing synthetic reactions to proceed under mild conditions. This Review focuses on structural and electronic changes of photocatalysts, potentially resulting in frequently neglected active species that facilitate catalysis.
This Review covers the recent advances in the field of hydrogen atom transfer catalysis mediated by photoexcited transition metals without the use of external photosensitizers.
