We have developed the first example of a photoredox catalytic method for the formation of carbon-fluorine (C-F) bonds. The mechanism has been studied using transient absorption spectroscopy and involves a key single-electron transfer from the (3)MLCT (triplet metal-to-ligand charge transfer) state of Ru(bpy)3(2+) to Selectfluor. Not only does this represent a new reaction for photoredox catalysis, but the mild reaction conditions and use of visible light also make it a practical improvement over previously developed UV-mediated decarboxylative fluorinations.
