When is an apple an apple or when is it an orange? How should we compare commercial photoreactors? Or better yet, how do we discuss the important details of a photochemical reaction? Answering this question is at the heart of reproducing...

A belated year in review 2021 At HepatoChem, we had a big year in 2021. We started shipping our new photoreactor the Lucent360™, added members to our team, moved into a new lab space and built out a new manufacturing facility. The year 2022...
A few weeks ago, we discussed the history of the Lucent360™, our new photoreactor for light and temperatures control for screen to scale, in both batch and flow. This month, we want to share a series of experiments that demonstrate the value...
A Brief History of a PhotoReactor We write from time to time here about the topics that we find interesting or humorous in the photoredox, visible-light photocatalysis and photochemical literature (or whichever term you might like best to describe...
Lucent360™ Case Study: Multiple LED Intensity / Catalyst Screening in a Single Experiment The Lucent360™ LED modules and vial holders/reactors are interchangeable allowing the user to design the perfect experiment to fit their...
Part II: Understanding and Measuring Light Sources This is the second part of a three part series designed to help you get started by understanding light sources in photochemistry. Missed the first part of the series where we cover the basics and...
Abstract The robust CoI precatalyst [CpCo(P{OEt}3)(trans‐MeO2CHC=CHCO2Me)] was investigated in cyclotrimerizations, furnishing benzenes and pyridines from triynes, diynes and nitriles, comparing the influence of different ways of energy supply;...
