Near-Infrared (NIR) Light Gaining Interest For most of the previous century, photochemistry invoked images of high-powered mercury lamps, intense UV light and classical reactions such as [2+2]-cycloadditions, cyclizations and radical rearrangements (Ref 1). This...

Electron Donor-Acceptor (EDA) Complexes in Photochemistry The photochemistry of Electron Donor-Acceptor (EDA) complexes provides a new option to create complex chemical structures (scaffolds) without the need for expensive photocatalysts like iridium or ruthenium....

Before We Begin… This post is an overview of how we perform a ferrioxalate actinometer protocol to determine photon flux in our various photoreactors. We try to go into as much detail as possible so you can replicate these steps in your own lab and with your own...

Few scientists who are including photochemical reactions in their synthesis make the actual photon flux known. Yet it is a key component to successfully reproduce published experiments from the scientific literature because of the variety of photochemical instruments...

In recent years, amide coupling has become the most frequently used reaction in medicinal chemistry1. Found as the backbone of proteins, the amide bond is nominal formed by the condensation of a carboxylic acid and an amine. Due to a nearly unlimited set of readily...
