“…Consequently, the vast majority of current photochemical studies, including most of the work by the photoredox community, 8 still operate on the basis of PET. Even though increasingly thermodynamically challenging PET reactions have been accomplished lately, [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] sometimes in combination with an applied electrochemical potential, [19][20][21] such reactions are limited by the redox properties of the photosensitizer and the substrates. To overcome thermodynamic limitations imposed by PET, protoncoupled electron transfer (PCET) 22 has been exploited successfully in photoredox catalysis for substrates with sufficiently polar functional groups that can form hydrogen bonds.…”
