Abstract
Irradiation with near-UV light dramatically enhances the reducing abil ity of ytterbium diiodide (YbI2). Organic bromides, iodides, tosylates , and tellurides ore reduced efficiently by a YbI2-hv system, while th ese can not be reduced with YbI2 in the dark. (C) 1997 Elsevier Scienc e Ltd.
