As light changes night (yin) into day (yang), irradiation of the click‐inactive copper(II) tren ketoprofenate complex triggers an efficient photoinduced electron‐transfer process to provide a highly active copper(I) tren click catalyst. In their Communication on page 7137 ff. , J.‐M. Vincent et al. also show that by simply introducing air into the reaction medium the catalysis can be switched off, and then on again by bubbling argon followed by irradiation.
