Visible light-induced transition metal catalysis has recently emerged as an innovative approach, where a transition metal complex plays a dual role by harvesting photon energy and enabling bond forming/breaking reactions. Unprecedented transformations, as well as the improvement of known reactions, can be achieved by this novel approach and different metals, such as palladium, nickel, copper and others, can be successfully employed. Due to the distinct excited-state reactivity of each metal and the high variety of transformations involved, this chapter focuses only on palladium and its applications, postponing the discussion on other metals in future chapters of this series.
