Light-Induced Electron Transfer Reactions in Solution, Organized Assemblies and at Interfaces: Scope and Potential Applications

  • 427 Accesses

Part of the book series: Contemporary Issues in Science and Society ((CISS))

Abstract

Light-induced electron transfer reactions and redox chemistry resulting from these processes have been the subject of extensive investigations during the past several years. Quenching of a very wide variety of excited states by electron transfer or by formation of exciplexes in which there is considerable charge separation has been shown to be quite general; the chemical consequences of these quenching events can range from no net chemistry to such diverse processes as cycloadditions, free radical or radical ion reactions and polar substitutions or additions.2–27 Much study in this area has focused on excited states of transition metal complexes; the rich array of accessible redox states available in many complexes coupled with low excitation energies and relative photostability makes them potentially attractive candidates for a number of applications.
