Far-UV irradiation of 2'-deoxycytidylyl-(3'-5')-thymidine (dCpT) gave rise to the pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone adduct and its Dewar valence isomer as the main photoproducts. The absolute configuration of the former adduct was determined and its photoisomerization studied. A comparison of the alkali lability of both compounds showed that hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond occurs for the Dewar valence isomer but not for its (6-4) precursor. In addition, the trans-syn and cis-syn cyclobutane dimers of dCpT were obtained by acetophenone photosensitization and characterized. Finally, the deamination rate constants for this series of compounds were shown to be dramatically influenced by the nature and the configuration of the photoproducts.

A common feature of molecular photoswitches is the selectivity of their photo-processes. The photoswitching model must combine a selective photochemical direct route and a thermal reverse reaction from the product back to the parent reactant. The conical intersection model is an appropriate approach to this problem.

Article Synopsis
- Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is crucial for carbon recycling in aquatic ecosystems and its photochemical behavior significantly influences this process.
- * Research over the past 30 years has focused on the generation of reactive species (RS) from DOM under sunlight, but there’s been limited comprehensive analysis of its behavior in both freshwater and seawater environments.
- * The unique properties of seawater, including high pH and ionic strength, affect how RS are produced and how they interact with other substances, impacting environmental transformations and possibly human and ecological health.

Monomers of -hydroxypyridine-2(1)-thione were isolated in low-temperature matrices of solid normal hydrogen (n-H). The matrix-isolated compound was irradiated with UV-B (λ = 305 nm) or UV-A (λ > 360 nm) light. Upon such irradiation, the initial form of -hydroxypyridine-2(1)-thione was completely consumed and converted into photoproducts.

Ethylene and sulfur dioxide molecules were co-deposited on a CsI window at cryogenic temperature, and the photoproducts upon UV irradiation were observed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The products were found to be UV wavelength-dependent; at shorter wavelengths (λ = 266 nm) one strong peak was observed while more than three peaks were identified at longer UV wavelengths (λ = 300 nm). Spectral features changed seamlessly along with UV wavelength.

The environmental contamination by plastics, microplastics, and related compounds is a major concern. While the detection and release of micro- and nanoparticles from these materials have been widely studied, the formation and release of molecules resulting from their degradation in the environment have been overlooked. This work presents a study of the products released from poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) irradiated as pure particles and adsorbed on silica and sand surfaces under different irradiation conditions.
