Nonstoichiometric copper chalcogenides with heavy copper vacancies can be used as an effective photo-activated catalyst for the Huisgen [3+2] cycloaddition reaction as Cu(i) can be released corresponding to holes (Cu-defects) under light irradiation. These strategies expand new possibilities for carrying out prototypical click chemistry in the presence of functional groups.
