Download or read book Energy Electron Transfer and Photocatalytic Reactions of Visible Light Absorbing Transition Metal Complexes written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the final technical report for a project carried out at Tulane University of New Orleans that describes the development of light induced (solar) reactions geared toward decomposing water into its component elements : hydrogen and oxygen. Much of the work involved optimizing systems for absorbing visible light and undergoing light promoted reactions to generate very strong reducing agents that are capable of reacting with water to produce hydrogen. Additional portions of the research were collaborative efforts to put the strong reducing agents to work in reaction with hydrogen generation catalysts prepared elsewhere. Time resolved laser spectroscopic methods were used to evaluate the light induced reactions and characterize very reactive intermediate substances formed during the reactions.

Download or read book Visible Light Photocatalysis in the Chemistry of Radical Ions and Triplet Nitrenes written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yoon group has recently pioneered methods to access the chemistry of radical ions using transition metal photocatalysts. The research presented herein describes the development of a radical anion cycloaddition that overcomes the thermodynamic constraints of electron transfer as well as novel strategies towards an enantioselective radical cation Diels-Alder cycloaddition. Observations made in the latter study led to the unexpected discovery that the photocatalyst counteranion has marked effects on the photophysical properties of polypyridyl ruthenium complexes. Attempting to utilize photoinduced electron transfer to generate nitrene radical anions, we obtained evidence consistent with the intermediacy of free triplet nitrenes. Further studies demonstrating the feasibility of energy transfer from photoexcited transition metal complexes to organic azides led to the development of an intermolecular olefin aziridination methodology and an intramolecular cyclization strategy to access a variety of nitrogen-containing heterocycles.
