Photochemistry of Nitrogen Heterocycles and Their Metal Complexes.

Abstract

In the early phases of this study, investigations were made of the photochemistry of nitrogen heteroaromatic compounds, particularly molecules related to pyridine, quiniline, and acridine. Work with these compounds involved a variety of different types of studies but basically the main thrust was in identifying the photochemically reactive excited states and determining the relative importance of these states. The studies were extended to the quaternary salts of these complexes in which the presence of one or more positive charges gives rise to new reactivity not observed with the free bases. (Author)
