Iron outperforms rare metals in stunning chemistry advance

Photocatalysts are materials that absorb light and use that energy to drive chemical reactions. In organic synthesis, metal based photocatalysts are especially valuable because they are durable and can be customized. By adjusting the ligands attached to the central metal atom, chemists can fine tune how the catalyst behaves.
