Photochemical deracemization has emerged as one of the most straightforward approaches to access highly enantioenriched compounds in recent years. While excited-state events such as energy transfer, single electron transfer, and ligand-to-metal charge transfer have been leveraged to promote stereoablation, approaches relying on hydrogen atom transfer, which circumvent the limitations imposed by the triplet energy and redox potential of racemic substrates, remain underexplored. Conceptually, the most attractive method for tertiary stereocenter deracemization might be hydrogen atom abstraction followed by hydrogen atom donation.

Early stages of radiolysis of solutions with 2,6-bis(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-benzo-[1,2,4]triazin-3-yl)pyridine (CyMe4-BTP) and 6,6'-bis(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-benzo-[1,2,4-]triazin-3-yl)-[2,2']bipyridine (CyMe4-BTBP) ligands in cyclohexanone, proposed as a solvent for selective actinide extraction, were studied by means of the pulse radiolysis technique with spectrophotometric detection. Transient UV-vis spectra of excited triplet states of ligands, formed by energy transfer from cyclohexanone excited triplet states to ligands, were recorded for the first time. The influence of typical extraction conditions (the presence of diluted acid and O from air) on the mechanisms of reactions in the system studied was assessed.

Article Synopsis
- Organic RTP materials are gaining popularity for applications in optoelectronics, bioimaging, and information encryption, but their luminous mechanisms aren't fully understood.
- This research examines host-guest doped materials, specifically using benzophenone as the host and quinone compounds as guests, focusing on how the triplet energy gap (ΔE) affects energy transfer and emission properties.
- The study reveals a bidirectional energy transfer process influenced by ΔE and temperature, which offers insights for designing better RTP materials for encryption and anti-counterfeiting uses.*

The photochemical decomposition of ethyl(aqua)cobaloxime, [EtCo(dmgH)HO], a vitamin B derivative model complex, was investigated to understand the mechanism of the Co-C bond scission induced by light. Upon irradiation of [EtCo(dmgH)HO], the Co-C bond undergoes homolytic scission, resulting in Et/Co(II) radical pair (RP) formation in a similar fashion observed in alkylcobalamins. The [EtCo(dmgH)HO] complex acts as a potent quencher of a wide variety of excited states in the presence of organic molecules such as benzophenone.
