Reactions triggered by light constitute a treasure trove of unique synthetic methods that are available to chemists. Photoinduced redox processes using visible light in conjunction with sensitizing dyes offer a great variety of catalytic transformations useful in the realm of organic synthesis. The recent literature amply shows that this preparative toolbox is expanding substantially. This review discusses historical and contemporary work in the area of photoredox catalysis with [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+). Elegant examples from the most recent literature document the importance of this fast developing area of research. The photoredox chemistry has also emerged as a promising bond-making and bond-breaking tool for chemical biology and materials chemistry. A review with 96 references.
