Research reveals that semiconductor clusters activate inert substrates effectively under visible light, suggesting improved photocatalytic methods.
Perched in equilibrium upon the T4-CdCu cluster, a balancing bird symbolizes the optimal balance between kinetics and thermodynamics achieved by the semiconductor cluster catalyst under visible-light excitation. In their Research Article (e202509764), Tao Wu et al. demonstrate that this equilibrium enables highly efficient and selective activation of inert substrates—such as non-activated arenes and aryl halides—delivering unprecedented photocatalytic performance under mild reaction conditions.
