Sensitisation and Quenching
Certain reactions are known which are not sensitive to light. These reactions can be made sensitive by adding a small amount of foreign material which can absorb light and stimulate the reaction without itself taking part in the reaction. Such an added material is known as sensitiser and the process is sensitisation.

Quenching : - When a photochemical excited atom has a chance to undergo collision with another atom or a molecule before it fluoresces, the intensity of the fluorescent radiation may be diminished or stopped. This phenomenon is known as quenching.
Quenching is a radiationless process involving two molecules.
A collision between a molecule in its excited state and another chromophoric or reactive molecule is quenching, the collision-induced, radiationless relaxation of an excited state to the ground state.
The quenching process implies an interesting kinetic competition, the treatment of which is referred to as a Stern-Volmer analysis.

1 .Cis-Trans Isomerizations
When irradiated with uv-light olefins usually undergo cis-trans isomerization.
The transformation can be carried out either by direct irradiation of the olefins or by sensitized irradiation.
It may either occur through a singlet or a triplet excited species.
It has been reported that isomerization in the triplet state has a lower barrier to rotation around the carbon-carbon bond.

o When the spins are paired { } as shown in Fig (a), the upward orientation of the electron spin is cancelled by the downward orientation so that S=0. This is illustrated below:s1 = ½ ; s2 = – ½ so that S= s1+s2 = ½ – ½ = 0
o Hence, 2S + 1 = 1. Thus, the spin multiplicity of the molecule is 1. We express it by saying that the molecule is in the singlet ground state.
o When the absorption of a photon of a suitable energy h , one of the paired electrons goes to a higher energy level (excited state), the spin orientation of the two singlet electrons may be either parallel { } or antiparallel, { }, as shown in Fig (b) and (c) respectively.
![Page 71: Dr.wael elhelece photochemistry 431chem](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052505/554c0500b4c905390b8b5131/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
If the spins are parallel, as shown in Fig (b), then, S= s1+s2 = ½ + ½ =1 so that 2S+1=3.
Thus, the spin multiplicity of the molecule is 3. This is expressed by saying that the molecule is in the triplet excited state.
If however, the spins are antiparallel, as shown in Fig (c), then, S= s1+s2 = ½ – ½ = 0 so that 2S+1=1. Thus, the spin multiplicity of the molecule is 1. This is expressed by saying that the molecule is in the singlet excited state.
Since the electron can jump to any of the higher electronic states depending upon the energy of the photon absorbed, we get a series of the singlet excited states, Sn where n=1, 2, 3, 4 ……and a series of triplet excited states, Tn where n=1, 2, 3, 4 ……

On absorption of light photon, the electron of the absorbing molecule may jump form S0 to S1,S2 or S3 singlet excited state depending upon the energy of the photon absorbed as shown in Jablonski diagram [Fig: 2].For each singlet excited state (S1, S2, S3………. ), there is a corresponding triplet excited state (T1, T2, T3……….. )’
The molecule, whether in singlet or triplet excited state, is said to be activated. Thus;
where A0 is the molecule in the ground state and A* is the molecule in the excited state.The activated molecule returns to the ground state by dissipating its energy through the non-radiative and radiative transition process.

Photoreactions of Carbonyl Compounds; Enes, Dienes & Arens
[Gurdeep.R.Chatwal, Reaction Mechanism and Reagents in Organic Chemistry, Himalaya Publications, 2005, p 959-961]
Only two types of electronic excitations is possible in the photochemistry of enes; to *Promotion of an electron from to * needs and to *.more energy (available only from the light of wavelength lower than 150 nm).Therefore, it is difficult to take place under usual experimental conditions. to * excitation has been experimentally accessible because it needs the absorption of the light of about 180-210nm for nonconjugated olefins and of about 220 nm or more for conjugated olefins.
![Page 75: Dr.wael elhelece photochemistry 431chem](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052505/554c0500b4c905390b8b5131/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
The initial excitation ( to *) usually takes place with no change in multiplicity and so a singlet excited state is formed.Unlike n to * transitions of ketones, this transition has been symmetry-allowed and thus results in a strong absorption band. The singlet excited state of olefins possesses less tendency to intersystem crossing and they themselves could initiate many photochemical reactions.However, the T1 states of olefins have been readily formed by intermolecular energy transfer from triplet donor to an olefin molecule. The photochemistry of singlet excited state of an olefin is appreciably different from that of its triplet state.

Photochemistry of butadieneButadiene is known to exist in solution as a mixture of S-trans (95 %) and S-cis (5 %) conformers.
In the irradiation of butadiene, an electron gets promoted from 2 to 3 ( to * transition) which gives rise to the increased bonding between C2 and C3 at the expense of C1------C2 and C3------C4.
Hence, conformational character of butadiene gets retained in the excited states.

Direct irradiation of butadiene gives rise to cyclobutene (I) and bicyclo butane (II).
The formation of these products directly from the S1 state of the butadiene.

The Paterno-Buchi Reaction
Carbonyl compounds on irradiation in the presence of olefins yield oxetanes. This photocycloaddition is generally known as the Paterno-Buchi Reaction.
The addition is carried out by irradiation with the light of wavelength absorbed only by the carbonyl group.The light energy needed for the n to * transition is able to initiate the reaction in simple cabonly compounds.

Photo-Fries rearrangementPhoto-Fries rearrangement involves a radical reaction mechanism. This reaction is also possible with deactivating substituents on the aromatic group. Because the yields are low this procedure is not used in commercial production. However, photo-Fries rearrangement may occur naturally particular to UV light at a wavelength of about 310 nm.

Di- methane rearrangement
The Di- methane rearrangement is a photochemical reaction of a molecular entity comprising two -systems, separated by a saturated carbon atom (a 1,4-diene or an allyl-substituted aromatic analog), to form an ene- (or aryl-) substituted cyclopropane. The rearrangement reaction formally amounts to a 1,2 shift of one ene group (in the diene) or the aryl group (in the allyl-aromatic analog) and bond formation between the lateral carbons of the non-migrating moiety

Photochemical conversion of Ergosterol to Vitamin D2
Ergosterol is a biological precursor (a provitamin) to vitamin D2.
It is turned into viosterol by ultraviolet light, and is then converted into ergocalciferol, a form of vitamin D also known as D2 .
For this reason, when yeast (such as brewer's yeast) and fungi (such as mushrooms), are exposed to ultraviolet light, significant amounts of vitamin D2 are produced.

Singlet Oxygen Generation and Reaction
• The lowest excited singlet state of O2 lies by only 94 kJ mol-1 above the triplet ground state. This 1Dg state is commonly populated by electronic energy transfer from photoexcited sensitizers.
• Due to its excitation energy of 94 kJ mol-1 singlet oxygen is chemically extraordinary reactive.
• The chemistry of singlet oxygen is different from that of ground state oxygen. For example, singlet oxygen can participate in Diels-Alder [4+2] and [2+2] cycloaddition reactions, ene reactions

Applications of photoreactions in synthesisMany important processes involve photochemistry. The premier example is photosynthesis, in which most plants use solar energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, disposing of oxygen as a side-product. Humans rely on photochemistry for the formation of vitamin D. In fireflies, an enzyme in the abdomen catalyzes a reaction that results in bioluminescence.Photochemistry can also be highly destructive. Medicine bottles are often made with darkened glass to prevent the drugs from photodegradation. A pervasive reaction is the generation of singlet oxygen by photosensitized reactions of triplet oxygen. Typical photosensitizers include tetraphenylporphyrin and methylene blue. The resulting singlet oxygen is an aggressive oxidant, capable of converting C-H bonds into C-OH groups.In photodynamic therapy, light is used to destroy tumors by the action of singlet oxygen.Many polymerizations are started by photoinitiatiors, which decompose upon absorbing light to produce the free radicals for Radical polymerization.

• Photochemical reactions are not only very useful but also can be a serious nuisance, as in the photodegradation of many materials, e.g. polyvinyl chloride and Fp.
• A large-scale application of photochemistry is photoresist technology, used in the production of microelectronic components.
• Vision is initiated by a photochemical reaction of rhodopsin
