Article Synopsis
- A novel method for controlling photochemical reactions involves using plane-polarized light on reactants aligned in a nematic liquid crystal, diverging from traditional geometric constraints.
- The study focuses on the Type B enone rearrangement of 4,4-diarylcyclohexenones, revealing that the aryl migratory aptitude can be fine-tuned by adjusting the angle between light polarization and liquid crystal alignment.
- The findings illustrate how spatially-selective excitation can dominate electronic factors influencing product ratios, supported by computational studies, offering a new approach to photochemical reactivity and selectivity.
