Abstract
Herein, unprecedented uses of squaraine derivatives as new organic near-infrared photocatalysts are reported. These efficient molecular tools are able to promote oxidation and reduction for organic transformations through photocatalytic conditions. A mechanistic investigation is performed to distinguish between competitive Single Electron Transfer and Energy Transfer pathways.
