Visible-light-mediated photoredox catalysis has revolutionized organic synthesis by enabling access to previously elusive open-shell intermediates through single-electron transfer (SET) processes. These intermediates have opened unprecedented avenues for bond formation and cleavage (ref . The rapid advancement of this field is primarily driven by the exceptional redox potentials and long excited-state lifetimes of polypyridyl complexes of ruthenium and iridium . However, the extreme scarcity of these metals, with crustal abundances below 0.001 ppm, necessitates the development of more abundant and sustainable alternatives to reduce costs and minimize environmental impact.
