absence of π-orbitals, the oxidative cleavage of the kinetically and thermodynamically stable C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond is extremely difficult and remains scarcely explored. In this work, under the double argument of quantum mechanics (QM) computations and meticulous experiments on our well-designed C–C single bond cleavage mechanism, we discovered a means of photoinduced selective oxidative C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond cleavage
