Applications of photoinduced electron transfer and hydrogen abstraction reactions to chemical and electrochemical conversion processes. Progress report, March 1, 1981-September 1, 1982
The major goal of this research as outlined in our proposal is to study light-driven electron transfer and hydrogen atom abstraction processes with a particular emphasis on reactions giving rise to net chemical or electrochemical conversion. During the past eighteen months we have obtained results of some significance in each of the five areas which are discussed individually in the report: (1) generation and reaction of reducing and oxidizing radicals and radical ions in photoelectrochemical cells; (2) studies of Weitz-type quenchers having stable one-electron redox products; (3) two-electron oxidative and reductive quenching processes with Weitz-type systems in solution and organized media; (4) photoredox reactions of indigo dyes; and (5) modification of photochemical reactivity by formation of amylose inclusion complexes in aqueous and partially aqueous solutions.
