Iron photocatalysis has been constrained by a lack of tunable ligands for diverse substrate scopes. Ackerman-Biegasiewicz et al. demonstrate diethylenetriamine (DETA) as a transformative ligand in Fe-catalyzed Giese-type additions recently in Chem Catalysis. This platform enables effective coupling of substrates with free amines, alcohols, and boronic esters, highlighting iron’s potential as a sustainable alternative to precious metals in photoredox catalysis.

铁光催化中的变革性配体效应


铁光催化由于缺乏适用于不同底物范围的可调配体而受到限制。Ackerman-Biegasiewicz 等人最近在《化学催化》上证明了二乙烯三胺 （DETA） 是 Fe 催化的 Gese 型加成物中的变革性配体。该平台使底物与游离胺、醇和硼酯有效偶联，突出了铁作为光氧化还原催化中贵金属可持续替代品的潜力。
