In the reactions reviewed, an organic molecule under irradiation catalyzes a chemical reaction. The activation is based either on hydrogen or on electron transfer. Commonly used photoorganocatalysts are aromatic ketones, quinones, heterocycles, dyes; intermediates formed are radicals, radical ions and ions from precursors such as alkanes, alkenes, amines, ethers etc. Oxidation (mainly oxygenation) and reduction processes are obtained along with the α-functionalization of amines and ketones, conjugate additions, cycloadditions etc. The key characteristic of the method is the smooth generation of highly reactive intermediates under mild conditions.
Abstract Visible‐light photocatalysis has evolved over the last decade into a widely used method in organic synthesis. Photocatalytic variants have been reported for many import...
The parametrization and testing of the OPLS all-atom force field for organic molecules and peptides are described. Parameters for both torsional and nonbonded energetics have be...
On the sunny side: Recent examples of visible-light-promoted photoredox catalysis in the presence of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ as an efficient photocatalyst have set new standards for conduc...
A mechanism for electron transfer reactions is described, in which there is very little spatial overlap of the electronic orbitals of the two reacting molecules in the activated...
Calculated Mn(2p3/2) X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) of Mn2+, Mn3+, and Mn4+ free ions are strikingly similar to Mn(2p3/2) spectra of Mn2+-, Mn3+-, and Mn4+-oxides and oxyhydr...
