The primary processes in the photochemistry of Fe(III) complexes with carboxylic acids (glyoxalic, tartaric, pyruvic and lactic) were studied by means of laser flash photolysis. The inner-sphere electron transfer with the formation of Fe(II) complex and an escape of an organic radical to the solution bulk was shown to be a minor channel of the photolysis. The main channel was proposed to be the formation of a long-lived radical complex [Fe(II)···˙OOC-R](2+). Spectral and kinetic parameters of the radical complexes are determined.

Light energy conversion often relies on photosensitizers with long-lived excited states, which are mostly made of precious metals such as ruthenium or iridium. Photoactive complexes based on highly abundant iron seem attractive for sustainable energy conversion, but this remains very challenging due to the short excited state lifetimes of the current iron complexes. This study shows that a luminescent Fe(III) complex sensitizes triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion with anthracene derivatives via underexplored doublet-triplet energy transfer, which is assisted by preassociation between the photosensitizer and the annihilator.

Article Synopsis
- Fe(III) complexes with carboxylic acids are crucial for environmental photochemistry and could be effective in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs).
- The study presents two methods to accurately determine quantum yields for photolysis and hydroxyl (OH) radical generation from these complexes when exposed to UV light.
- New findings establish a correlation between the quantum yields of OH generation for various Fe complexes and resolve discrepancies in previous literature, enhancing the understanding of their efficiency in environmental applications.

The hydrogen and carbon isotope fractionation factor (εH, εC) of dimethyl-, diethyl‑ and dibutyl phthalic acid ester during photosensitized degradation by artificial sunlight with Fe(III) ions and iron minerals (hematite, goethite and magnetite) in aqueous solution were examined by compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) in order to analyze the degradation mechanism. Hematite does not catalyze photosensitized degradation of phthalates. The correlation of H and C isotope fractionation (Λ = ΔδH/ΔδC) of phthalates with increasing chain length (dimethyl-; diethyl‑; and dibutyl-) were compared with values of the ∙OH radical model reaction with the aromatic ring as well as acidic and alkaline hydrolysis.

Despite the occurrence of thallium (Tl) in the acidic mining-affected areas being highly positively correlated with iron (Fe) and arsenic (As), the effects of the two accompanying elements on Tl redox transformation and immobilization remain largely unknown. Here, we investigated the photochemical redox kinetics and immobilization efficiency of Tl for a wide range of As/Fe and As/Tl ratios under acidic conditions. We provided the first experimental confirmation of the complexation of Tl(III) with As(V) by the spectrophotometric method and revealed the role of Tl(III)-As(V) complexes in decreasing the photoreduction rate of Tl(III) under sunlight.

New antibiotic contaminants have been detected in both surface waters and natural ice across cold regions. However, few studies have revealed distinctions between their ice and aqueous photochemistry. In this study, the photodegradation and effects of the main dissolved substances on the photolytic kinetics were investigated for sulfonamides (SAs) and fluoroquinolones (FQs) in ice/water under simulated sunlight.
