Radical‐Type Reactivity and Catalysis by Single‐Electron Transfer to or from Redox‐Active Ligands

Controlled ligand‐based redox‐activity and chemical non‐innocence are rapidly gaining importance for selective (catalytic) processes. This Concept aims to provide an overview of the progress regarding ligand‐to‐substrate single‐electron transfer as a relatively new mode of operation to exploit ligand‐centered reactivity and catalysis based thereon.
