An oxidative photocatalytic method for phenol–phenol homo- and cross-coupling is described, and isolated yields of 16–97% are obtained. Measured oxidation potentials and computed nucleophilicity parameters support a mechanism of nucleophilic attack of one partner onto the oxidized neutral radical form of the other partner. Our understanding of this model permitted the development of cross-coupling reactions
