• decarboxylation. Here, we provide an overview of the evolution of RLT catalysis from initial studies to recent advances and provide a conceptual framework we hope will inspire and enable future work using this versatile elementary step. Keywords: catalysis; cooperative catalysis; earth abundant elements

• with different elementary steps, including hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT), enabling new transformations to be unlocked with unprecedented modularity. Further, the privileged position of earth abundant elements such as iron and manganese in RLT has made reactions

• are typically based on noble metals (e.g., Ru, Ir) [37][38][39][40], which seriously restricts their practical applications. Therefore, the development of effective, stable and sustainable molecular catalysts based on earth-abundant elements is highly desirable [41][42][43]. Inspired by the molecular
