Metal-Enabled Electrophotocatalysis Oxidative Coupling with Hydrogen Evolution

Electrophotocatalysis (EPC), a developing scientific discipline, which has emerged at the intersection of two highly active fields. By integrating photocatalytic, electrocatalytic and transition-metal catalyzed processes via single-electron transfer (SET) mechanisms, EPC approach enables efficient, selective, and sustainable synthetic transformations. Herein, we summarize recent advances in metal-enabled EPC oxidative coupling reactions. Although still in its early stage, this synergistic catalytic pattern demonstrates remarkable potentials for advancing organic synthesis methodologies, particularly offering promising applications in diverse late-stage functionalization strategies.
