The basic mechanistic aspects of the photo-and radiation chemistry of lignin model
compounds (LMCs) are discussed with respect to important processes related to lignin …

The motivation for writing this review comes from our interest in using quantitative structure-
activity relationships (QSAR) to understand how organic compounds effect biological …

Over the past four decades, there has been immense progress in every area of lignin
science, ranging from the enzymology of lignin biodegradation, to the delignification of wood …

The yellowing and IR-changes of spruce wood as a result of UV-irradiation were studied
using two different types of xenon lamps (λ> 300 nm; Io= 50 mW cm− 2 and λ> 280 nm; Io …

Non-phenolic aromatic carbonyl compounds (ie, benzaldehydes and acetophenones not
containing an-OH group on the aromatic ring) and various phenols are present in the …

This review will focus on recent progress regarding the mechanisms of light-induced
discoloration of mechanical and chemimechanical pulps and on the proposed preventive …

Bleached softwood mechanical pulp was treated with sodium borohydride to reduce
carbonyl groups and dimethyl sulphate to block phenolic hydroxyl groups. Upon irradiation …

Novel turn-on fluoroionophores 2 and 3 based on highly fluorescent 8-methoxyquinoline
were developed in which a sequential singlet–singlet energy transfer, ISC, and triplet–triplet …

The electron transfer mediated photochemical release of alcohols, phosphates and diacids
is examined. The alcohols can be protected as mixed phenacyl carbonate esters. Irradiation …

The Photo-Claisen reaction is one of the classical photochemical rearrangements of
aromatic molecules and is mechanistically related to the Photo-Fries reaction. It consists in …
