Abstract

Photoirradiation of perylene in the presence of 1, 4-dicyanobenzene and NaCN in a benzonitrile (BN)/water emulsion under vigorous stirring gave 1-and 3-cyanoperylene in a total yield of 15%. For kinetic and mechanistic studies of the photoreaction, we conducted single-droplet measurements by using a laser trapping-microspectroscopy technique. Although determination of the incident light intensity absorbed by a solute in the emulsion ...
