Abstract: An efficient C-P bond formation reaction was developed by virtue of the synergetic catalysis strategy by merging heterogeneous photocatalysis and nickel catalysis. This platform utilizing cadmium sulfide semiconductors as heterogeneous photocatalysts and nickel complexes as transition metal catalysts provided a variety of organophosphorus compounds from readily available aryl and vinyl halides, as well as aryl triflates, with generally a good-to-excellent reaction efficiency (31 examples, 46%-98% yields). The current protocol features mild reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, recyclability of photocatalysts, and inexpensive catalysts, thus defining the practical and economic proprieties of the present catalyst system.
