So, this is a time for the scientific community to find alternative sources to replace Nobel metals, and it is making genuine changes in developing sustainable synthetic methods. Photoexcited transition-metal catalysis is revitalizing the research area for functionalizing diverse π-bond systems. The massive progression of the two conventional photochemical reactivity modes, photoredox catalysis, and synergetic photocatalyst/transition-metal catalysis, has fueled the search for a next-level mechanistic paradigm visible-light initiated excited-state transition-metal catalysis (Cu, Pd, Fe, Au, Co, Ni, W, and Mn), which can be deployed to harvest </span>light energy and convert it into chemical energy in a single catalytic cycle. This review summarizes early examples of the visible-light-induced </span>photocatalytic activities of conventional transition metals employed in C-H activation, π-bond functionalization, and annulation reactions of </span>unsaturated compounds, and excluding the commonly used expensive photocatalysts (i.e., Ir-, and Ru-based pyridyl complexes). Unlike the other two classical photochemical approaches, the discrete inner-sphere mechanism associated with photoexcited transition metals facilitates reactive substrate-metal-complex interactions. It enables the direct involvement of excited-state catalysts in bond-forming or-breaking processes.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":376,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology C: Photochemistry Reviews","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 100589"},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"3210080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
