Correction for ‘A photoexcited halogen-bonded EDA complex of the thiophenolate anion with iodobenzene for C(sp3)–H activation and thiolation’ by Tao Li et al., Chem. Sci., 2021, DOI: 10.1039/d1sc03667j.

Transition-Metal-Free and Photocatalyst-Free Sulfenylation of Halopyrazolamines under Visible-Light Irradiation via Electron Donor–Acceptor Complexes

“…22 Recently, Xia and co-workers obtained an EDA complex through halogen bonding of a thiophenolate anion with an aryl halide under visible-light irradiation without any catalyst. 23 The groups of Fu and Song separately reported thioether formations using an EDA strategy involving an N-hydroxyphthalimide ester as a radical auxiliary (Scheme 1b). 21c,24 The presence of a halogen bond (represented as R-X•••Y) was confirmed by compelling evidence demonstrating the presence of an attractive interaction between the electrophilic component, primarily derived from a halogen element, and the nucleophilic component, primarily derived from a base element.…”
