Many recently reported applications demonstrated the advantages of using visible light for the generation of reactive intermediates in synthesis, however, typically one visible light photon processes are reaching a limitation imposed by the energy of these photons. As can be noted in biological photosynthesis, visible light provides enough energy to promote even challenging chemical reactions coupling two photo induced events. Following this example of nature, we development an artificial consecutive photoinduced transformations and could overcomes the typical limitation in single photoinduced processes. and provides a new strategy to perform more energy demanding chemical reactions.
