Sharing our 1st preprint on our work on organo-Ti photocatalysis! We've found that titanocenes are photoactive catalysts for alcohol activation by LMCT excitation, enabling β-scission of alkoxyl radicals for degradative functionalization. Congrats Jagrut, Ashley & the whole team!
Degradative Alcohol Functionalization by Titanocene Photocatalysis
Organotitanium complexes are scarcely employed in photocatalytic reactions despite their robust ligand-to-metal charge-transfer photo-chemistry. Herein, we describe the development of titanocene pho-t...

Red light, green light? Not anymore - we show red light turns on and controls polymerization by accessing an LMCT mechanism using thiolate ligation on cobalt. Check it out in JACS - great work Sajjad, Cristina, and Dan! #Chemsky #light #polymers

Red-Light-Induced Ligand-to-Metal Charge Transfer Catalysis by Tuning the Axial Coordination of Cobyrinate
Photoinduced ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) is a powerful technique for the formation of reactive radical species via homolytic cleavage of the metal–ligand bond. Here, we present that the exc...
