Abstract: Visible light has risen to become a very important facilitator for selective radical reactions enabled by well‐cognized photocatalysts. The renaissance of visible‐light photocatalysis on this matter partly relies on integrating it with other fields of catalysis. In parallel, 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidin
N ‐oxide (TEMPO), a quintessential persistent radical, has a wide range of uses owing to its exceptional redox behavior, which gives rise to its latest prominence in catalysis. Therefore, integrating the catalysis of TEMPO with photocatalysis to perform visible‐light‐induced selective reactions becomes a very convenient marriage of merits. In this context, the integration of different types of photocatalysts, including metal complexes, metal‐free organic dyes, and semiconductors, with TEMPO for outstanding organic transformations will be summarized. To expand further the catalytic repertoire, the integration of TEMPOH analogues such as NHPI (N ‐hydroxyphthalimide) and NHS (N ‐hydroxysuccinimide) with photocatalysis will also be discussed. Hopefully, these advances will pave the way for more breakthroughs by integrating TEMPO and its analogues with photocatalysis to lead to a valuable blueprint for visible‐light‐induced selective organic transformations.
