The cogs of Ir photoredox and Ni catalysts have been merged to provide a new and powerful approach to cross‐coupling. As described by M. S. Oderinde, J W. Johannes et al. in their Communication on page 13219 ff., aryl amination was achieved by employing an Ir photoredox/Ni dual‐catalytic platform with inexpensive blue LED irradiation. The dual ability of the Ir complex to oxidize arylamines and reduce Ni II by an outer‐sphere single‐electron‐transfer process enabled C−N cross‐coupling under remarkably mild conditions.
