Visible‐light photocatalysis is a rapidly developing and powerful strategy to initiate organic transformations, as it closely adheres to the tenants of green and sustainable chemistry. Generally, most visible‐light‐induced photochemical reactions occur through single‐electron transfer (SET) pathways. Recently, visible‐light‐induced energy‐transfer (EnT) reactions have received considerable attentions from the synthetic community as this strategy provides a distinct reaction pathway, and remarkable achievements have been made in this field. In this Review, we highlight the most recent advances in visible‐light‐induced EnT reactions.
