Abstract
Understanding the valency and structural variations of metal centers during reactions is important for mechanistic studies of single-atom catalysis, which could be beneficial for optimizing reactions and designing new protocols. Herein, we precisely developed a single-atom Cu(I)-N4 site catalyst via a photoinduced ligand exchange (PILE) strategy. The low-valent and electron-rich copper species could catalyze hydrophosphinylation via a novel single-electron oxidative addition (OA) pathway under light irradiation, which could considerably decrease the energy barrier compared with the well-known hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and single electron transfer (SET) processes. The Cu(I)-Cu(II)-Cu(I) catalytic cycle, via single-electron oxidative addition and photoreduction, has been proven by multiple in situ or operando techniques. This catalytic system demonstrates high efficiency and requires room temperature conditions and no additives, which improves the turnover frequency (TOF) to 1507 h-1. In particular, this unique mechanism has broken through the substrate limitation and shows a broad scope for different electronic effects of alkenes and alkynes.

Abstract
Pd-catalyzed hydrophosphorylation of alkynes with P(O)-H compounds provided atom-economical and oxidant-free access to alkenylphosphoryl compounds. Nevertheless, the applicable P(O)-H substrates were limited to those without a hydroxyl group except H2P(O)OH. It is also puzzling that Ph2P(O)OH could co-catalyze the reaction to improve Markovnikov selectivity. Herein, a computational study was conducted to elucidate the mechanistic origin of the phenomena described above. It was found that switchable mechanisms influenced by the acidity of substrates and co-catalysts operate in hydrophosphorylation. In addition, potential side reactions caused by the protonation of PdII-alkenyl intermediates with P(O)-OH species were revealed. The regeneration of an active Pd(0) catalyst from the resulting Pd(II) complexes is remarkably slower than the hydrophosphonylation, while the downstream reactions, if possible, would lead to phosphorus 2-pyrone. Further analysis indicated that the side reactions could be suppressed by utilizing bulky substrates or ligands or by decreasing the concentration of P(O)-OH species. The presented switchable mechanisms and side reactions shed light on the co-transformations of P(O)-H and P-OH compounds in the Pd-catalyzed hydrophosphorylation of alkynes, clarify the origin of the distinct performances of P(O)-H/OH compounds, and provide theoretical clues for expanding the applicable substrate scope of hydrophosphorylation and synthesizing cyclic alkenylphosphoryl compounds.
