Electron transfer reactions lie at the heart of modern organic synthesis, enabling transformations that range from selective bond activation to radical‐mediated cyclisations. Mechanistically, these ...
Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) encompasses reactions in which the movement of an electron is directly linked to the transfer of a proton. This coupling can proceed by sequential ...
For the reaction to continue, this intermediate product needs an additional electron. The system must allow this electron transfer to occur energetically, and the researchers were able to identify ...
