The chemistry of the less familiar elements is a fascinating topic especially for the inorganic
minded. The lanthanides, or rare earths, comprise the 5d block of the periodic table and …

The study of singlet molecular oxygen production and reactivity has emerged as a rich and
diverse area with implications in fields ranging from polymer science to cancer therapy. In …

For more than 70 years, researchers in several areas of science have been intrigued by the
physical and chemical properties of the lowest excited states of molecular oxygen. With two …

The photooxidation of a mustard‐gas simulant, 2‐chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES), is studied
using a porphyrin‐based metal–organic framework (MOF) catalyst. At room temperature and …

This work gives an overview of what is currently known about the mechanisms of the
photosensitized production of singlet oxygen. Quenching of ππ* excited triplet states by O2 …

The endoperoxides of β-carotene (βCar-EPOs) are regarded as main products of the
chemical deactivation of 1O2 by β-carotene, one of the most important antioxidants …

Photo-oxygenation represents an appealing strategy for the effective production of high
value-added carbonyls by directly manipulating the ubiquitous C–H bonds. Nevertheless …

Photoredox catalysis provides many green opportunities for radical-mediated synthetic
transformations. However, the determination of the underlying mechanisms has been …

Hydantoins are important scaffolds in natural products and pharmaceuticals, with only a few
synthetic strategies available for their asymmetric preparation. We herein describe a single …

Photophysical properties of 10 substituted methoxybenzene or vinyl linked benzo-crown-
ether− 2, 2 '-bipyridyl ruthenium (II) complexes are reported. The lifetimes of the excited …
