Photocatalytic Isomerization of Stilbenes via Molecular Recognition With a Dual-Function η6-Arene Catalyst.
Electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes, formed through noncovalent interactions between electron-rich and electron-deficient species, can undergo photoinduced charge transfer to access reactive radical intermediates. However, rapid and unproductive back electron transfer (BET) limits their synthetic utility. Herein, w...
