Photoactivatable protecting groups (PPGs) or caged compounds are beneficial tools for
spatiotemporal controlled release of bioagents, fluorescent probes, polymerization initiators …

The mechanistic aspects of photodecarboxylation are examined with respect to the mode of
bond cleavage. Emphasis is placed on recent studies of aromatic substrates. The synthetic …

Photoremovable protecting groups derived from meso-substituted BODIPY dyes release
acetic acid with green wavelengths> 500 nm. Photorelease is demonstrated in cultured S 2 …

Rates of decarboxylation (kcof) have been estimated for the acyloxy radicals 7a-f formed in
the photolysis of substituted 1-naphthylmethyl alkanoates 6a-f. These rates are based on a …

This review paper describes briefly the cloud aqueous phase composition and deeply its
reactivity in the dark and mainly under solar radiation. The role of the main oxidants …

The technique of flash photolysis provides for the direct observation of a short-lived species,
often under conditions that closely resemble those of a thermal reaction where that species …

The photochemical reactions of arylmethyl compounds with leaving groups (ArCH2-LG) give
products from both intermediate arylmethyl radical (ArCH2•• LG) as well as ion pairs …

The SN1 reaction mechanism is fundamental to our understanding of numerous molecular
processes found in organic chemistry. As such, the initial development of the mechanism is …

The photosolvolysis reactions, in methanol, of six substituted benzyl acetates (7a-f) and
benzyl pivalates (8a-f) were studied. Five major benzylic products were formed from two …

Removal of an electron from a bonding orbital or addition of an electron to an antibonding
orbital of a diamagnetic molecule activates the resulting radical ion for fragmentation. Such …
