Going green on the cheap : A highly effective photocatalytic reaction mode involving chlorine radicals generated on chlorinated BiOBr/TiO 2 upon irradiation with visible light enabled selective transformations of alkanes into functionalized products through the formation of CO and CC bonds (see scheme). This process provides a sustainable strategy for direct CH functionalization under mild conditions.
