photocatalytic generation of reactive intermediates and their application in the formation of …

Cleavage of carbon–carbon bonds by radical reactions

P Sivaguru, Z Wang, G Zanoni, X Bi - Chemical Society Reviews, 2019 - pubs.rsc.org
In recent years, radical C–C bond cleavage reactions have been increasingly understood
and used to perform transformations that complement traditional ionic processes. However …

Porphyrinoids, a unique platform for exploring excited-state aromaticity

J Kim, J Oh, A Osuka, D Kim - Chemical Society Reviews, 2022 - pubs.rsc.org
Recently, Baird (anti) aromaticity has been referred to as a description of excited-state (anti)
aromaticity. With the term of Baird's rule, recent studies have intensively verified that the …

Photochemistry Driven by Excited‐State Aromaticity Gain or Antiaromaticity Relief

J Yan, T Slanina, J Bergman… - Chemistry–A European …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Gain of aromaticity or relief of antiaromaticity along a reaction path are important factors to
consider in mechanism studies. Analysis of such changes along potential energy surfaces …
