This text discusses di-p-methane rearrangements via radical-cation intermediates, the photo-Fries rearrangement in organized media and of biologically active compounds, electron transfer leading to fragmentation, dimerization, and nucleophilic capture, and the characterization and reactivity of photochemically generated phenylene bis(diradical) species. The authors reveal experimental and... Read more
Recent advances in Di-pi-methane photochemistry - a new look at a classical reaction; the photo-Fries rearrangement; the characterization and reactivity of photochemically generated phenylene bis(diradical) species as revealed by marix isolation spectroscopy and computational chemistry; photoinduced electron transfer initiated reactions in organic chemistry; design and fine control of photoinduced electron transfer; molecular oxygenations in zeolites; organic-inorganic composites as photonic antenna; photo-switching spiropyrans and related compounds.
