3 Practical Aspects of Photocatalysis

Abstract

Visible-light photocatalysis has emerged as a versatile, important tool for organic synthesis, often allowing for complementary approaches to more traditional transformations. This chapter summarizes general practical aspects for the conduction of (visible light) photochemical and photocatalytic reactions, focussing on irradiation sources and experimental setups both for batch and flow reactions, including special equipment for NMR and EPR spectrometers, autoclaves, or ball mills. A short overview of typical experiments and approaches to elucidate basic mechanistic information is additionally provided.

Key words

photocatalysis - irradiation sources - reactors - flow chemistry - control experiments - quantum yield - electron transfer - LEDs - visible light - green chemistry - photochemistry - radicals
