Over the past decade, visible-light-mediated energy-transfer (EnT) catalysis, particularly triplet–triplet (TTEnT) has emerged as a mild and environmentally friendly approach for diverse organic synthetic transformations. In contrast to photoredox which typically requires sacrificial electron donors or acceptors complete catalytic cycle, EnT photocatalysis generally proceeds with high atom economy while minimizing generation of wasteful byproducts. Furthermore, successful catalysis is contingent upon precise control redox potentials both photocatalysts substrates, strategies are primarily influenced by triplet energy compatibility between these entities. Considering growing importance photocatalysis, well hydrofunctionalization difunctionalization reactions in synthesis, this review systematically summarizes significant advancements EnT-enabled unsaturated compounds via sigma-bond homolysis over decade. Special emphasis placed on elucidating substrate scopes mechanistic scenarios. Additionally, discusses versatile applications methodologies addresses current challenges opportunities within evolving research field. This structured into six main categories based different types sigma-bonds undergoing homolysis. These include transformations mediated 1) N–O bond oxime esters other N,O-radical precursors; 2) N–S N-sulfonyl imines N,S-radical 3) chalcogen–chalcogen disulfides oxy/thio/selenosulfonates; 4) C–S tri/difluoromethylated sulfinates, acetylenic triflones, arylsulfonium salts; 5) C–X (X = halogen) halides; 6) acceptors.
