A new selectivity paradigm for outer sphere single electron transfer (SET) has been developed that is divorced from substrate redox potentials, utilizing super-potent photoreductants to render substrate redox potentials irrelevant through diffusion-limited SET.

Why
To devise selective reactions that leverage SET and overcome the challenge of targeting substrates that are thermodynamically difficult to reduce or oxidize, where differences in substrate redox potentials traditionally predict relative rates of SET.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
This development offers a general blueprint for the design of SET reactions that require violation of redox potential control, potentially enabling new coupling reactions for difficult-to-reduce or oxidize substrates.
