Deskripsi

Although the combination of photo- and nickel catalysis has garnered intense interest in the preceding years, the mechanisms by which these transformations occur are to some degree unresolved. Here the authors provide computational and spectroscopic support for a Dexter energy-transfer mechanism in the context of a C(sp3)–H alkylation.
