6/2/2021 – Congratulations to Colleen and Alyah on their work expanding the pool of photoactive radical anions by electron-priming conventional photocatalysts. Out on ACIE now!
Herein, we leverage electrochemistry to examine the photocatalytic activity of a range of structurally diverse persistent radical anions and find that many are effective electrophotocatalysts. These studies uncover a new electron-primed photoredox catalyst capable of …

3/16/2021 – Congratulations to Karina and Oliver on their work repurposing PTH, a common photoreductant, into a potent photooxidant using O2 and a Lewis acid co-catalyst. Out in JACS now!
We describe a photocatalytic system that reveals latent photooxidant behavior from one of the most reducing conventional photoredox catalysts, N-phenylphenothiazine (PTH). This aerobic photochemical reaction engages difficult to oxidize feedstocks, such as benzene, in C(sp2)–N coupling …
