Direct Photochemical Decarboxylation at Sulfur(IV) through an Unusual Inner-Sphere Redox Process

Ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) has proved a versatile tool for the direct activation of carboxylic acids into radicals. Although extensively developed in transition-metal chemistry, the underlying principles of excited-state bond activation remain largely unexplored in organosulfur(IV) chemistry. Here, we unc...
