Green Light-Active Carbon Dots as Photoredox Catalysts for Atom-Transfer Radical Addition
Abstract Phenol-rich carbon dots were employed as efficient, metal-free photoredox catalysts for the atom-transfer radical addition reaction across multiple substrates. Their photocatalytic activity proved superior under green light compared to shorter-wavelength visible light, affording milder reaction conditions, fewer side products, and easier scalability.
