Reforming 3d-metal-based visible light catalytic platforms for inert bulk chemical activation is highly desirable. Herein, the authors report the use of a Brønsted acid to unlock robust and practical iron ligand-to-metal charge transfer photocatalysis for the activation of multifarious inert haloalkylcarboxylates to produce halogencontaining alkyl radicals.
