Electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex photochemistry has emerged as a powerful strategy for expanding the potential of visible light-driven radical synthetic chemistry. This photochemical strategy intrinsically differs from photoredox catalysis since it does not rely on the use of exogenous photocatalysts. The majority of reported EDA complex-driven photosynthesis rely on the use of stoichiometric electron-donor and acceptor substrates, leading to a limited efficiency and scope of the photochemical processes. An important advance is to implement the EDA complex photochemistry within a catalytic regime, where either the donor or acceptor is employed catalytically. This approach provided opportunities to expand the efficiency and versatility of the EDA complex photochemistry, while implementing asymmetric radical processes by using a chiral catalyst. The aim of this review is to highlight the recent advances in catalytic EDA complex photochemistry. The review is organized into two primary categories: reactions mediated by catalytic electron donors and those by catalytic electron acceptors. We focus on the discussion of different EDA catalysis models and reaction mechanisms. Finally, the review concludes with an analysis of prevailing challenges and perspectives on future research directions.
