A light-driven reaction sequence that bolts nonaromatic rings onto heteroarenes, such as pyridines, offers a rapid route to medicinal molecules that would be troublesome to make using existing methods ...

Photochemistry provides a pathway to swap the oxygen atom in oxetane rings with nitrogen, carbon or sulfur at a single stroke ...

Biochemically based models of C3 photosynthesis can be used to predict that when photosynthesis is limited by the amount of Rubisco, increasing atmospheric CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) will increase ...

Riboflavin, commonly known as vitamin B2, exhibits a unique photochemistry that underpins a range of biochemical and technological applications. In aqueous solutions, riboflavin absorbs ultraviolet ...

Fresh water is an important and widespread natural resource. Microorganisms play key roles in freshwater biogeochemical processes, which are mostly studied during summer. However, with more than half ...

Anyone who wants to produce medication, plastics or fertilizer using conventional methods needs heat for chemical reactions—but not so with photochemistry, where light provides the energy. The process ...

Many photochemical processes rely on UV light from inefficient or toxic light sources that the LED technology cannot replace for technical reasons. An international team of scientists led by Professor ...

The photoredox reaction of trisoxalato cobaltate (III) has been studied by means of ultrafast extended x-ray absorption fine structure and optical transient spectroscopy after excitation in the charge ...

A photochemical sciences research team has shown that a new and unusual reaction path in chemistry occurs not only in the gas phase, but also in solution. According to the researchers, the finding ...

Two years in development, the plug and play reactor offers a wide range of features that makes it an industry first. With no intensive set up required, it is unique within the field of flow chemistry ...

Nitroaromatic compounds, characterised by one or more nitro groups attached to an aromatic system, exhibit complex excited state dynamics and diverse photochemical behaviours that have profound ...

Saltiel on his scientific mentor and why: “I owe my deepest gratitude to my teachers: to Mr. Finfrock at San Jacinto High School, whose love of chemistry was contagious and whose teaching made college ...
