Metallaphotoredox catalysis for sp3C–H functionalizations through hydrogen atom transfer (HAT)

C-H functionalizations through photocatalytic HAT followed by transition metal catalysis. Our focus will be on the diverse strategies and their synthetic applications, in addition to detailed mechanisms involved in these reactions. An in-depth understanding of these mechanisms is crucial for the rational design of new catalysts and reaction conditions to further enhance the efficiency of these transformations. We hope that this review will serve as a valuable resource for researchers in the area of metallaphotoredox catalysis, and will inspire the further development of this application in green chemistry, drug synthesis, material science, and other related fields.
