Bringing to light : The rediscovery of visible light as an abundant energy source for organic reactions has most recently brought copper‐catalyzed coupling reactions to the center of attention. This Highlight summarizes the most significant advancements in the field of CC and CN coupling reactions in which covalent copper–substrate complexes are photo‐activated.
