Visible light photocatalytic reduction of aldehydes by Rh(iii)–H: a detailed mechanistic study1. Issue 3 (16th March 2015) - Ghosh, T.
Abstract The slow visible light mediated generation of a rhodium hydride allows the chemoselective reduction of aldehydes in the presence of ketones. Electron transfer from the chromophore to the metal complex proceeds via a radical anion intermediate or a solvated electron as two competing reaction pathways.
