Five decades of mechanistic and exploratory organic photochemistry*

چکیده
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 intermediate years. Finally, the third portion describes our recent research.

Fun with photons, reactive intermediates, and friends. Skating on the edge of the paradigms of physical organic chemistry, organic supramolecular photochemistry, and spin chemistry.
This Perspective presents a review and survey of the science and philosophy of my research career over the past five decades at Columbia as a physical organic chemist and photochemist. I explore the role of paradigms, structure, and geometric thinking in my own cognitive and intellectual development. The Perspective describes my investigations of high energy content molecules in electronically ...
متن کاملMechanistic Modeling of Organic Compounds Separation from Water via Polymeric Membranes
A mathematical model considering mass and momentum transfer was developed for simulation of ethanol dewatering via pervaporation process. The process involves removal of water from a water/ethanol liquid mixture using a dense polymeric membrane. The model domain was divided into two compartments including feed and membrane. For a description of water transport in ...
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 کاملThe Role of Organizational Structure in Designing Performance Measurement Systems
Organizational structure determines the scope of decisions, tasks, responsibilities, goals, perspectives and rewards for achieving results. In recent decades, due to environmental changes and dramatic technological advances, organizational structure has changed from Mechanistic to organic. The purpose of the restructuring is to facilitate the achievement of the organization's goals. Changing st...
