Acetone was photolyzed around 770 K by pulsed laser irradiation at 248 nm. The methyl radicals, generated in the primary step, trigger a chain reaction, producing ketene (CH2CO) and methane. Long chains (high quantum yields) result from low radical concentrations. Using a collimated laser beam of low intensity, quantum yields up to 300 have been demonstrated. Approximate rate constants have been derived and used for extrapolation to higher temperatures and different densities. Compared to the thermal process, the photochemical formation of ketene is faster. Therefore its thermal decomposition can be avoided to some extent. But the improvement is probably too small to be of technical interest. We also found indications that the thermal decomposition of acetone above about 500 to 600 K yields three fragments in a single step.

The quantum yield of hydrogen peroxide photolysis has been measured as a function of the concentration of photocatalytically active Cu2+ ions, intensity of photolytic radiation, temperature, and hydrogen peroxide concentration. The results obtained are consistent with the concept that high quantum yields of hydrogen peroxide photolysis (Φ >> 1) are due to thermal decomposition of hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by photochemically generated copper ions in oxidation states which are catalytically active.

2,5-Di(hetero)arylfurans are readily accessible in a pseudo five-component reaction via a Sonogashira–Glaser coupling sequence followed by a superbase-mediated (KOH/DMSO) cyclization in a consecutive one-pot fashion. Besides the straightforward synthesis of natural products and biologically active molecules all representatives are particularly interesting due to their bright blue luminescence with remarkably high quantum yields. The electronic structure of the title compounds is additionally studied with DFT computations.

The photolysis of C2H5SH liquid at 2537 Å has been shown to give H2 and C2H5SSC2H5 at equal rates with a quantum yield of 0.25. The photolysis of ethanethiol – methyl disulfide liquid mixtures leads, via a chain reaction involving propagation by attack of thiyl radicals on the disulfide S—S bond, to the formation with high quantum efficiency of CH3SH, C2H5SSC2H5 and, as an intermediate that is consumed after long exposures, CH3SSC2H5. The net result of the sequence of exchange processes is the essentially irreversible conversion of the methyl disulfide into methanethiol. The same overall reaction occurs thermally at room temperature, but the rate is appreciably less than that of the photochemical process. The quantum yields of formation of the unsymmetrical disulfides arising from the photochemically initiated exchange reaction in equimolar mixtures of CH3SSCH3 + n-C3H7SSC3H7 and C2H5SSC2H5 + n-C3H7SSC3H7 have been shown to be 6.9 and 4.4, compared to 355 for CH3-SSCH3 + C2H5SSC2H5 mixtures. In all three types of system examined in this investigation all thiyl radicals can be accounted for stoichiometrically on the basis of exchange and combination reactions alone, indicating negligible disproportionation of these species in condensed phase.

Mechanisms of the photosensitized cis–trans photoisomerization of 3-penten-2-one which do not imply only classical triplet–triplet energy transfer are proposed; they are based upon measurements of the variations of initial quantum yields of isomerization with the initial donor and acceptor concentrations, the wavelength of excitation, and the nature of the donor and of the solvent. Carbonyl donors (acetophenone, benzophenone, acetone) induce a radical isomerization by a chain process in reducing solvents; the example of acetophenone is specially interesting. In solvents in which the donor is not photoreduced (as benzene or CCl4) classical triplet–triplet energy transfers occur. Sensitization with aromatic donors (benzene, mesitylene) proceeds through triplet–triplet energy transfer at low concentrations of the acceptor. At higher concentrations of acceptor, an exciplex is formed between the ketone and the aromatic in its singlet excited state; this exciplex is deactivated by dissociation and by causing the isomerization of the α,β-unsaturated ketone.
