A historical perspective is given contrasting challenges and advances in theoretical chemistry at the time the first issue of Theoretical Chemistry Accounts appeared in 1962 and the progress achieved since then as expressed ...

In this Chapter, besides a brief description of the matrix isolation technique and discussion of its main advantages and drawbacks when applied to photochemical studies on organic molecules, a general overview of the ...

A variety of N-(selenomethyl)alkyl-phthalimides (alkyl = -(CH2)n-; n = 2-5, 1a, b, d, e) and N-(selenobenzyl)propyl phthalimide (1c) were synthesized and their photochemistry was studied at λ = 300 nm. Steady-state photolysis ...

Photochemical reactions between 1,4-benzo- and 1,4-naphthoquinone and several heteroaromatic carbaldehydes were investigated under solar irradiation conditions. These reactions gave the corresponding heteroacylated ...

The photostability and photophysical properties of the dimethyl ester of the mycosporine-like amino acid shinorine have been experimentally evaluated in aqueous solution and in the presence of direct micelles prepared with ...

The photoreactivity of single particles with atmospheric interest was studied by using an acoustic levitation system coupled to Raman microspectrometry. Both, inorganic and organic single particle phototransformation has ...
