Visible-light-driven dual photoredox catalysis often uses expensive metals, such as iridium. Now, a photocatalytic approach using a Ni single-atom carbon nitride catalyst is reported for the C–O cross-coupling of carboxylic acids and alkyl halides, demonstrating broad functional group tolerance, short reaction times, facile recovery and excellent stability.
