Description
Anton A. Gladkov and colleagues describe a light-driven route to aryl indium reagents in a 2026 chemistry article. Shining visible light from LEDs at 400, 455, and even 520 nanometers on indium(I) bromide mixtures generates a highly active low-valent indium species. That species performs halogen atom transfer, a trick rare for main-group metals and usually linked with transition metals, to form aryl radicals and then arylindium(III) products.
The method tolerates air, moisture, and many functional groups, works with or without a photocatalyst, and gives high yields simply. Resulting reagents can themselves release aryl radicals under photoredox conditions, creating a two-way bridge between single- and two-electron chemistry.
