Overview
This unique thesis discusses the development of conceptually novel and synthetically valuable methods that use visible light photocatalysis. Each chapter addresses a different topic in the emerging field of photocatalysis, which has become an indispensable tool for organic synthesis. Photocatalysis employs environmentally harmless and abundant visible light in the presence of a photosensitizer, and as such offers an attractive alternative to harmful UV light in photo-mediated reactions. This book introduces the novel concept of merging gold catalysis with visible light photocatalysis in a dual catalytic fashion, which demonstrates their compatibility with each other for first time and has inspired the development of various reactions. Moreover, a novel trifluoromethylation method, which combines radical addition chemistry with a polar rearrangement to synthesize valuable fluorinated compounds, is presented, since compounds featuring fluorinated functionality are the subject ofincreasing attention in pharmaceutical, agrochemical and material research. It also develops an external photocatalyst-free photochemical method for the synthesis of valuable indolizine heterocycles, where the product mediates its own formation. Lastly, it describes the synthesis and characterization of two novel highly porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The comprehensive text is rounded out with illustrations and color figures.

Author Information
Basudev Sahoo studied his bachelor degree in chemistry at the Ramakrishna Mission Residential College, Narendrapur, University of Calcutta, Kolkata, India in 2009. Then he joined Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur, India for his master studies in chemistry. After obtaining his master degree in 2011, he moved to Germany with a scholarship from International NRW Graduate School of Chemistry, Münster. He joined the group of Frank Glorius at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität (WWU) Münster for his PhD studies. Currently, he is a postdoctoral fellow in the group of Matthias Beller at the Leibniz-Institut für Katalyse e.V. an der Universität Rostock (LIKAT Rostock), Rostock, Germany.
