Nature Catalysis, Published online: 09 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41929-026-01539-2Direct hydrogen atom transfer (d-HAT) for C(sp3)–H functionalization classically relies on O-centred photocatalysts. Now, neutral N-centred acridine photocatalysts have been added to the toolbox, enabling mild, scalable d-HAT that is compatible with a broad substrate scope and transition metal catalysis.
