Synergistic photoredox–copper catalysis is limited by fluorescence quenching of Cu(II) ions to photoreductive dyes in solution. Here, the authors compromise photoreduction and Cu(II) catalysis by diode-like coordination polymer with twisted Cu(II)–dye conjugation, revealing its vast application vistas.
