To date, it is considered established that quinones with lower energy state, under the action of light tear away a hydrogen atom from a hydrocarbon or an electron donor from inorganic anion-radicals, which have a high reduction potential. However, even for the simplest quinones (1,4-benzoquinone, 1,4-naphthoquinones, 9,10-anthraquinone and their derivatives) there is no consensus in the science literature about the nature of the initial event in photoreaction with compounds which are potential donors of hydrogen atom and electron. The first step in many photochemical reactions is the formation of complexes between donors and acceptors of electrons in the excited state (exiplexes). Photoreactive quinones as elementary acts include the transfer of electron (or) hydrogen atom. The mechanism depends on the presence and strength of donor-acceptor complexes (DAC) of the quinones with the reagents. Studies of triplet exiplexes allow you to set the details of the elementary reaction acts. Only short-lived intermediate product was registered upon photoexcitation of the studied quinone Q in low-polarity solvents. The kinetic of decay of the first order with rate constant of about 2∙106 s-1 in toluene and dibutylphthalate and the introduction of oxygen leads to a decrease in the lifetime of the product in the triplet state. With the introduction of solutions of amines quenching of triplet state (QT) with rate constant close to diffusion was observed. Rate constants of quenching by dissolving in benzene and by dissolving in dibutyl phthalate were determined. It is established that formation of intermediate products is carried out from triplet state (QT). Excited complexes with charge transfer in acetonitrile were not observed. It is concluded that with decrease in electron affinity of the acceptors, when the connection of the molecules in the complex becomes weaker, the lifetime of TE increases significantly.

Abstract It is generally recognized that reductive processes are more important than oxidative ones in transforming, degrading and mineralizing many environmental contaminants. One process of particular importance is reductive dehalogenation, i.e., the replacement of a halogen atom (most commonly a chlorine atom) by a hydrogen atom. A number of different mechanisms are involved in these reactions. Photochemical reactions probably play a role in some instances. Aliphatic compounds such as chloroethanes, partly aliphatic compounds such as DDT, and alicyclic compounds such as hexachlorocyclohexane are readily dechlorinated in the laboratory by reaction with reduced iron porphyrins such as hematin. Many of these are also dechlorinated by cultures of certain microorganisms, probably by the same mechanism. Such compounds, with a few exceptions, have been found to undergo reductive dechlorination in the environment. Aromatic compounds such as halobenzenes, halophenols and halobenzoic acids appear not to react with reduced iron porphyrins. Some of these however undergo reductive dechlorination both in the environment and in the laboratory. The reaction is generally associated with methanogenic bacteria. There is evidence for the existence of a number of different dechlorinating enzymes specific for different isomers. Recently it has been found that many components of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), long considered to be virtually totally resistant to environmental degradation, may be reductively dechlorinated both in the laboratory and in nature. These findings suggest that many environmental contaminants may prove to be less persistent than was previously feared.

The esr and CIDEP results show that the photoreduction of chromones and chromanones by phenol and by triethylamine proceeds via a spin polarized T(n,π*) triplet state which abstracts a hydrogen atom from the donor. Both chromone and chromanone are found to be reactive to the addition of organometallic radicals to form some radical adducts, including organotin, organosilicon, and organogermane.

Mechanism Of The Reaction

The kinetics and mechanism of the reaction between anthracene and styrene have been fully investigated. By means of flash photolysis techniques, it has been confirmed that it is the triplet state of anthracene which sensitizes the polymerization. It has also been shown that both triplet and unexcited singlet anthracene copolymerize with styrene, the former with a zero activation energy. The work has been extended to the polymerizations sensitized by pyrene and chrysene, and to the unsensitized photopolymerization of styrene. It has been shown that in every case an initiation mechanism, involving the initial formation of a triplet-monomer complex, satisfactorily explains the observed results. The copolymerization rates of pyrene and chrysene were undetectable; these results, coupled with those obtained for the copolymerization of anthracene with styrene, are in agreement with the conclusions of Kooyman & Farenhorst, Szwarc, and others, concerning the reactivity of olefinic and aromatic hydrocarbons to radical addition. Finally, a qualitative investigation of the photochemical reactions between the sensitizers, and cumene and 9 .10-dihydroanthracene, has been made.

Since the seminal work of Zhang in 2016, donor-acceptor cyanoarene-based fluorophores, such as 1,2,3,5-tetrakis(carbazol-9-yl)-4,6-dicyanobenzene (4CzIPN), have been widely applied in photoredox catalysis, and used as excellent metal-free alternatives to noble metal Ir- and Ru-based photocatalysts. However, all the reported photoredox reactions involving this chromophore family are based on harnessing the energy from a single visible light photon, with a limited range of redox potentials from -1.92 V to +1.79 V. Here, we document the unprecedented discovery that this family of fluorophores can undergo consecutive photoinduced electron transfer (ConPET) to achieve very high reduction potentials. One of the newly synthesized catalysts, 2,4,5-tri(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-6-(ethyl(phenyl)amino)isophthalonitrile (3CzEPAIPN), possesses a long-lived (12.95 ns) excited radical anion form, 3CzEPAIPN<sup>•</sup><sup>−</sup>*, which can be used to activate reductively recalcitrant aryl chlorides (E<sub>red </sub>≈ -1.9 to -2.9 V) under mild conditions. The resultant aryl radicals can be engaged in synthetically valuable aromatic C-B, C-P, and C-C bond formation to furnish arylboronates, arylphosphonium salts, arylphosphonates, and spirocyclic cyclohexadienes, respectively.
