Metalloradical and photoredox manifolds in manganese photocatalysis
Abstract
Mn-Mn bond homolysis and photoredox processes proceeding through single-electron transfer. Emphasis is placed on mechanistic principles governing atom-transfer and redox-mediated transformations, reaction scope, and synthetic applications, including C-C and C-X bond formation, carbonylation, and late-stage functionalization. By comparing these mechanistic regimes, this review provides a conceptual framework that distinguishes manganese photocatalysis from conventional noble-metal systems and underscores its growing role in sustainable light-mediated organic synthesis.
