The direct cross-electrophile coupling of (hetero)aryl halides and pseudohalides is challenging. Now this reaction is facilitated by a visible light-induced palladium catalytic system that differentiates the reactants on the basis of the bond dissociation enthalpy affording unsymmetrical (hetero)biaryls.
