Abstract Thanks to the superior redox potential of platinum (II) complex compared with that of Ru (bpy) 3 2+ in the excited state, an efficient and selective visible-light-induced CDC reaction has been developed by using a catalytic amount (0.25%) of 1. With the aid of FeSO 4 (2 equiv), the corresponding amide could not be detected under visible-light irradiation (λ= 450 nm), but the desired cross-coupling product was exclusively obtained under ambient ...
