Abstract
). Through strategic catalyst design, we access a wide range of photoredox, photopolymerization, and metallaphotoredox reactions which usually require 15-50% higher excitation energy. Finally, we demonstrate superior light penetration and scalability of NIR photoredox catalysis through a mole-scale arene trifluoromethylation in a batch reactor.
