Electron Transfer Photochemistry

这项更新奖是在有机动力学项目中颁发的，以支持马里兰大学帕特里克·马里亚诺教授的研究。本次研究的主题是单电子转移光化学。具体目标将是确定光氧化还原过程的机制，确定作为SET反应中间体的离子自由基的性质和反应模式，并开发新的SET光化学反应。具体的研究领域将是set衍生的阳离子自由基的异裂断裂反应，set光化学和金属催化氧化环化反应的合成应用，以及亚甲酰基的光化学生成和反应。光化学单电子转移反应提供了具有固有基础兴趣的活性自由基和自由基离子种类，以及各种技术上重要的合成应用中的关键中间体。

U. Maryland This renewal award is made in the Organic Dynamics Program in support of the research of Professor Patrick Mariano at the University of Maryland. The theme of the research will be single electron transfer (SET) photochemistry. Specific goals will be to define the mechanisms of photoredox processes, to define the nature and reactivity patterns of ion-radicals which are intermediates in SET reactions, and to develop new SET-photochemical reactions. Specific areas of investigation will be heterolytic fragmentation reactions of SET-derived cation -radicals, synthetic applications of SET-photochemical and metal-catalyzed oxidative cyclization reactions, and the photochemical generation and reactions of azomethine ylides. Photochemical single electron transfer reactions provide reactive radical and radical ion species which are of inherent fundamental interest, as well as key intermediates in a variety of technologically significant synthetic applications.
