Sunlight as the most abundant renewable energy holds the promise to make our society
sustainable. However, due to its low power density and intermittence, efficient conversion …

The use of visible light to enable small molecule synthesis has grown substantially over the
last 15 years. While much of the focus has been on the development of new methods …

Single-electron reduction of a carbonyl by photoredox catalysis enables the generation of
ketyl radicals, providing a benign procedure for constructing C–C bonds. However, external …

The rapid development of photo (redox) catalysis within the last decades is remarkable to
the extent that the utilization of light‐driven processes in organic chemistry has become a …

While photoredox catalysis continues to transform modern synthetic chemistry, detailed
mechanistic studies involving direct observation of reaction intermediates and rate constants …

Photoactivities of four natural or natural-derivatized vitamin K (VK) species were investigated
by using a combination of theoretical computational modeling, prediction, and specially …

Abstract Bodipy (BDP)‐perylenebisimide (PBI) donor–acceptor dyads/triad were prepared to
study the spin–orbit charge‐transfer intersystem crossing (SOCT‐ISC). For BDP‐PBI‐3, in …

Rational design and optimization of photocatalytic systems can only be achieved through
understanding the reaction mechanisms involved. Time-resolved optical spectroscopy has …

Recently, Professor David MacMillan introduced an original light-mediated catalytic process
where simple aldehyde substrates undergo coupling with a variety of olefin partners to …

This topical review focuses on the application of several types of spectroscopy methods to a
class of solid state materials called metal organic frameworks (MOFs). MOFs are self …
