Although main group complexes have been utilized in many chemical transformations, their limited ability to undergo a redox event restricts the scope of chemical reactions these complexes are capable of promoting. In an attempt to generate main group complexes with “metal-like” behavior, this talk will discuss how the utilization of a BODIPY dye molecule in combination with main group element can promote proton, electron, and H-atom transfer to substrate molecules. This talk will also discuss the photophysical properties of the described compounds and their reactivity in the presence and absence of light.<br/>
