Visible-light-driven catalysis has also become popular in the synthetic community and has had a significant impact on the fields of chemical synthesis, nanotechnology, energy, and biology. The past ten years have seen the development of useful synthetic transformations for the search for new drugs thanks to photoredox catalysis. Given that organic compounds don't absorb visible light, using visible light sensitization to start organic reactions is appealing because it prevents the side effects that are frequently associated with photochemical reactions carried out with high energy UV light. Photoredox chemistry makes it possible to create new bonds through open shell pathways and speeds up the assembly of complex products on the way to uncharted chemical territory. There are numerous transition-metal complexes and organocatalysts that can start radical formation in the presence of light.
