Main group elements have recently emerged as benign and cost-effective alternatives to transition metals in organometallic chemistry. By finely tuning their electronic structure, these can engage substrate coordination, activate small molecules, even catalyse redox reactions, mirroring the behaviour of metals. This book chapter aims summarize a relatively underexplored area within main metal chemistry: ability undergo photoinduced processes such reactivity, rearrangements, radical formation.
