title: Photo-activation of Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling using a Ru/bipyridine complex as energy transfer agent.
abstract: The mixed catalyst system, Pd(CH3CN)2Cl2/P(t-Bu)3/[Ru(2,2'-bipyridine)3].2PF6, promotes the copper-free Sonogashira coupling reaction of aryl bromides at room temperature under irradiation of visible light.
