Abstract

Abstract : The image illustrates the fact that selective transformations catalyzed by ruthenium complexes can be achieved in complex biological settings. A rather unique property of ruthenium photocatalysts is their ground‐state stability coupled to their photoexcited state reactivity. The fact that the catalyst is activated by light provides control of the reactivity in space and time. For more information, see the Review by N. Wissinger et al. on page 6661 ff.
