Photoinduced Intermolecular Radical Hydroalkylation of Olefins via Ligated Boryl Radicals-Mediated Halogen Atom Transfer Abstracts

Back in my university days, I spent hours studying on @organicportal.bsky.social. Today, our own paper is highlighted and feels surreal!🤩

I'm incredibly proud of this work and grateful to my collaborators who made it possible. ❤️
