Inorganic passivation, in particular, offers stronger chemical bonding and denser protection against moisture and oxygen compared to organic small molecules. Recent studies have employed mild organic ligands to introduce inorganic anions, creating an inorganic passivation layer on the perovskite surface. Here, we report a solution-based passivation approach using sulfate salts coordinated with butylamine, hexylamine, and octylamine, spin-coated onto perovskite surfaces. By tuning the alkylamine chain length, we modulate the passivation effect.

By precise regulation of potential and current, the reaction can selectively generate highly reactive intermediates (such as radicals and radical ions) under mild conditions, opening up a unique pathway for efficient asymmetric synthesis and demonstrating great potential in the synthesis of chiral drug molecules, natural products, and functional materials.

Nevertheless, the development of asymmetric radical transformations has long remained a formidable challenge, primarily because the high intrinsic reactivity and short lifetime of radical intermediates often lead to competitive racemic background reactions. In recent years, chiral transition-metal catalysts have provided effective platforms to address these issues. Depending on the reaction manifold, chiral metal catalysts can participate in radical generation, activate reacting fragments, or intercept externally generated radicals, thereby enabling stereocontrolled C–C bond formation within a chiral catalytic environment. In this review, we summarize recent advances in transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric radical C–C bond construction, with an emphasis on enantioselective radical cross-couplings that forge C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–C(sp), C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–C(sp<sup>2</sup>), and C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–C(sp<sup>3</sup>) bonds, as well as enantioselective radical additions to C=C, C=O, and C=N bonds. Representative modes of radical generation, including hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT), halogen-atom transfer (XAT), single-electron oxidation, and single-electron reduction, are also discussed.
