Abstract

Nitrobenzene “caged” compounds are well-known for their use in delivering biologically active substrates to a reaction mixture after photoexcitation. We have discovered that they also behave as photoreductants from the triplet state after photoexcitation. To explore the properties of these newly discovered photoreductants, a series of substituted nitrobenzene derivatives have been synthesized. These nitrobenzene derivatives exhibit many ...
