Amine‐rich N‐doped carbon nanodots (NCNDs) were used in this work for the photochemical radical perfluoroalkylation of organic compounds. This operationally simple approach occurs under mild reaction conditions producing valuable new C−C bonds. The chemistry is driven by the ability of NCNDs to absorb light while successively triggering the formation of reactive fluorinated radical species from simple perfluoroalkyl iodides. The synthetic potential of the strategy is reported as well as preliminary mechanistic studies. More information can be found in the Full Paper by C. Rosso, G. Filippini, and M. Prato on page 16032.
