چکیده
In this chapter we are concerned with the mechanisms of organic photochemical reactions. Two important features of mechanisms are the correlation of molecular structure with reactivity and the investigation and establishment of the details of the elementary steps involved in a photochemical process as *R proceeds to P. We shall be concerned with the experimental tools for characterizing the structure of the reactive intermediates *R and I and the kinetics of the primary photochemical processes involved in a photoreaction.

Five decades of mechanistic and exploratory organic photochemistry*
This exposition summarizes a personal perspective on past and current developments in organic photochemistry. It comprises three portions. The first section describes the beginnings of our photochemical studies and how it was possible to relate photochemical reactivity to excited-state electronic structures. The second selectively relates some of the reactions and concepts developed in the inte...
متن کاملPhotochemical Reactions of Cyclohexanone: Mechanisms and Dynamics.
Photochemistry of carbonyl compounds is of major importance in atmospheric and organic chemistry. The photochemistry of cyclohexanone is studied here using on-the-fly molecular dynamics simulations on a semiempirical multireference configuration interaction potential-energy surface to predict the distribution of photoproducts and time scales for their formation. Rich photochemistry is predicted...
متن کاملA team of researchers is modeling ozone formation induced by volatile organic compounds. NORTHWESTERN CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERING MECHANISTIC MODEL OF OZONE FORMATION
Objective: Emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) into the atmosphere leads to increases in the concentration of ambient ozone, a major component of photochemical smog. Therefore, the ability to determine the contribution of a selected VOC to ozone formation would be extremely valuable for both environmental and industrial reasons. To this end, a promising strategy is to create detailed...
متن کاملPhotochemical transformations of pyridinium salts: mechanistic studies and applications in synthesis.
The discovery, understanding and synthetic exploitation of the photochemical transformation of pyridinium salts are described. The investigations surrounding the remarkable transformation of pyridinium salts into a host of structurally complex motifs have helped extend the comprehension of aromatic and heteroaromatic photochemistry. The synthetic community has, in recent years, recognised the p...
متن کاملFlow photochemistry: Old light through new windows
Synthetic photochemistry carried out in classic batch reactors has, for over half a century, proved to be a powerful but under-utilised technique in general organic synthesis. Recent developments in flow photochemistry have the potential to allow this technique to be applied in a more mainstream setting. This review highlights the use of flow reactors in organic photochemistry, allowing a compa...
