Applications of photoinduced electron transfer and hydrogen abstraction reactions to chemical and electrochemical conversion processes. Final report, March 1, 1981-February 28, 1984
Goal has been to study light-driven electron transfer and hydrogen atom abstraction processes with emphasis on reactions giving rise to net chemical or electrochemical conversion. The work focused on studies using substrates excitable with visible light - ranging from metal complexes, porphyrins and metalloporphyrins to dyes and ketones - and quencher-mediators capable of acting as electron donors or acceptors by virtue of having multiple closely spaced redox levels. The work can be conveniently divided into five major areas: Generation and Reaction of Reducing and Oxidizing Radicals and Radical Ions in Photoelectrochemical Cells; Studies of Weitz-type Quenchers Having Stable One-electron Redox Products; Two-electron Oxidative and Reductive Quenching Processes with Weitz-type Systems in Solution and Organized Media; Photoredox Reactions of Indigo Dyes; and Modification of Photochemical Reactivity by Formation of Amylose Inclusion Complexes in Aqueous and Partially Aqueous Solutions.
