Abstract
The selective functionalization of alkanes has long been recognized as a prominent challenge and an arduous task in organic synthesis. Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) processes enable the direct generation of reactive alkyl radicals from feedstock alkanes and have been successfully employed in industrial applications such as the methane chlorination process, etc. Nevertheless, challenges in the regulation of radical generation and reaction pathways have created substantial obstacles in the development of diversified alkane functionalizations. In recent years, the application of photoredox catalysis has provided exciting opportunities for alkane C-H functionalization under extremely mild conditions to trigger HAT processes and achieve radical-mediated functionalizations in a more selective manner. Considerable efforts have been devoted to building more efficient and cost-effective photocatalytic systems for sustainable transformations. In this perspective, we highlight the recent development of photocatalytic systems and provide our views on current challenges and future opportunities in this field.

Abstract
2-Azaxanthone, a nitrogenated derivative of the well-studied organic chromophore xanthone, has been covalently bound through 2-(ethylthio)ethylamido linkers to the carboxylic acid groups of short, soluble single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) of 450 nm average length, and the resulting azaxanthylium-functionalized CNTs (AZX-CNT, 8.5 wt % AZX content) characterized by solution (1)H NMR, Raman and IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Comparison of the quenching of the triplet excited state of AZX (steady-state and time-resolved) and of the transient optical spectra of CNTs and AZX-CNT shows that the covalent linkage boosts the interaction between the azaxanthylium moiety and the short CNT units. The triplet excited state of the azaxanthylium derivative is quenched by CNT with and without covalent bonding, but when it is covalently bonded, the singular transient spectrum is compatible with the photogeneration of electron holes through electron transfer from CNT to excited azaxanthylium units.

Abstract
Quantum yields as high as 120 were achieved for triplet-sensitized photoisomerizations of several Dewar benzene reactants, R, to the corresponding benzene products, P. Considerable chain amplification is maintained even at high conversion. All relevant rate constants of this triplet chain reaction were extracted from laser flash photolysis plus steady-state photolysis experiments. The crucial rate constant ka for adiabatic isomerization of the triplet reactant to triplet product (R* --> P*) cannot be directly measured because it is so large relative to the bimolecular rate of R* formation via sensitization. However, ka was obtained indirectly using a cage/encounter complex model to analyze the competition between the dissociation of encounter pairs with the sensitizer, e.g., S/R* --> S + R*, and the in-cage processes, S/R* --> S/P* --> S*/P, in nonviscous and viscous solvents. These measurements yielded ka values of (approximately 4-9) x 10(9) s(-1), which suggests that only a small (approximately 3 kcal/mol) energy barrier exists along the potential energy surface from R* to P*. Steady-state data indicated that the chain-terminating rate constant R* --> R is negligibly small, an ideal condition for chain amplification. Triplet energy transfer from a series of sensitizers to the Dewar benzene derivatives shows a nonclassical falloff in rate constants with decreasing sensitizer triplet energy, suggesting energy transfer to thermally distorted configurations having lower singlet-triplet energy gaps. As a result of distorted geometries of R* and P*, the chain-propagating energy transfer from P* to R proceeds with a rate constant of only approximately 2 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1), despite strong exothermicity. The isomerization reaction can release over 100 kcal/kcal of absorbed photons due to the high-energy content of the reactant together with the large chain length.

Abstract
Efficient energy transfer from Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, denotes the excited state) to 3,6-disubstituted tetrazines [R(2)Tz: R = Ph (Ph(2)Tz), 2-chlorophenyl [(ClPh)(2)Tz], 2-pyridyl (Py(2)Tz)] occurs to yield the triplet excited states of tetrazines ((3)R(2)Tz(*)), which have longer lifetimes and higher oxidizing ability as compared with those of Ru(bpy)(3)(2+). The dynamics of hydrogen-transfer reactions from NADH (dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) analogues has been examined in detail using (3)R(2)Tz(*) by laser flash photolysis measurements. Whether formal hydrogen transfer from NADH analogues to (3)R(2)Tz(*) proceeds via a one-step process or sequential electron and proton transfer processes is changed by a subtle difference in the electron donor ability and the deprotonation reactivity of the radical cations of NADH analogues as well as the electron-acceptor ability of (3)R(2)Tz(*) and the protonation reactivity of R(2)Tz(*)(-). In the case of (3)Ph(2)Tz(*), which is a weaker electron acceptor than the other tetrazine derivatives [(ClPh)(2)Tz; Py(2)Tz], direct one-step hydrogen transfer occurs from 10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (AcrH(2)) to (3)Ph(2)Tz(*) without formation of the radical cation (AcrH(2)(*)(+)). The rate constant of the direct hydrogen transfer from AcrH(2) to (3)Ph(2)Tz(*) is larger than that expected from the Gibbs energy relation for the rate constants of electron transfer from various electron donors to (3)Ph(2)Tz(*), exhibiting the primary deuterium kinetic isotope effect. On the other hand, hydrogen transfer from 9-isopropyl-10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (AcrHPr(i)) and 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide (BNAH) to (3)R(2)Tz(*) occurs via sequential electron and proton transfer processes, when both the radical cations and deprotonated radicals of NADH analogues are detected by the laser flash photolysis measurements.

Abstract
The fluorescence quenching of singlet-excited 2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene (DBO) by 22 phenols and 12 alkylbenzenes has been investigated. Quenching rate constants in acetonitrile are in the range of 10(8)-10(9) M(-1)s(-1) for phenols and 10(5)-10(6) M(-1)s(-1) for alkylbenzenes. In contrast to the quenching of triplet-excited benzophenone, no exciplexes are involved, so that a pure hydrogen atom transfer is proposed as quenching mechanism. This is supported by (1) pronounced deuterium isotope effects (kH/kD ca 4-6), which were observed for phenols and alkylbenzenes, and (2) a strongly endergonic thermodynamics for charge transfer processes (electron transfer, exciplex formation). In the case of phenols, linear free energy relationships applied, which led to a reaction constant of rho = -0.40, suggesting a lower electrophilicity of singlet-excited DBO than that of triplet-excited ketones and alkoxyl radicals. The reactivity of singlet-excited DBO exposes statistical, steric, polar and stereoelectronic effects on the hydrogen atom abstraction process in the absence of complications because of competitive exciplex formation.

Abstract
In the present contribution, wavelength has been used as a tunable parameter to achieve selective control of the photophysics of two novel asymmetric bichromophoric dyads composed of naphthalene units, i.e., 6-methoxynaphthalene (NPX) and 1-methylnaphthalene (NAP) derivatives, with different electronic properties, connected by an amide spacer [(S,S) and (S,R)-NPX-NAP]. As model systems, relevant monochromophoric compounds (NPX-M and NAP-M) have also been investigated. While upon excitation at 325 nm the light energy remained in the NPX moiety, at 290 nm an efficient singlet-singlet energy transfer (phi(SSET) of about 97%) from the NAP unit to the NPX chromophore dominated. A remarkable stereodifferentiation was observed in the excited-state quenching by triethylamine via exciplex formation. The results demonstrate that it is possible to control configuration-dependent interactions in the excited state by wavelength tuning. This can be rationalized through intramolecular interactions of pi systems leading to modulation of the redox properties.

Abstract
The time-resolved absorption and fluorescence spectra of the azaxanthone (AX) ketyl radical (AXH.) in the excited state (AXH.(Dn) (n = 1 or 2)) were observed during the nanosecond-picosecond two-color two-laser flash photolysis. AXH. showed dual fluorescence peaks at 460 and 645 nm, which were assigned to the D2 --> D0 and D1 --> D0 transitions, respectively. It was found that the lifetime of the D2 --> D0 fluorescence (1.0 ns) was longer than that of the D1 --> D0 fluorescence (0.4 ns). The fluorescent quantum yields of the D1 --> D0 and D2 --> D0 fluorescence were estimated to be 0.0008 +/- 0.0002 and 0.05 +/- 0.02, respectively. These anomalous emitting properties can be attributed to the pyridine ring in AX. AXH. is a new example of a neutral radical which violates Kasha's rule.

Abstract
The properties and reactivities of the xanthone (Xn) ketyl radical (XnH*) in the doublet excited state (XnH*(D1)) were examined by using two-color two-laser flash photolysis. The absorption and fluorescence of XnH*(D1) were observed for the first time. Several factors governing the deactivation processes of XnH*(D1) such as interaction and reaction with solvent molecules were discussed. The remarkable change of reactivity of XnH*(D1) compared with that in the ground state (XnH*(D0)) was indicated from the experimental results. The rapid halogen abstraction of XnH*(D1) from some halogen donors such as carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was found to occur. The halogen abstraction occurred more efficiently in the polar solvents than in the nonpolar solvents. It is suggested that the polar solvents promote the spin distribution of XnH*(D1) of the phenyl ring favorable to the halogen abstraction.

Abstract
Two novel azoalkane bichromophores and related model compounds have been synthesised and photophysically characterised. Dimethylphenylsiloxy (DPSO) or dimethylnaphthylsiloxy (DNSO) serve as aromatic donor groups (antenna) and the azoalkane 2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene (DBO) as the acceptor. The UV spectral window of DBO (250-300 nm) allows selective excitation of the donor. Intramolecular singlet-singlet energy transfer to DBO is highly efficient and proceeds with quantum yields of 0.76 with DPSO and 0.99 with DNSO. The photophysical and spectral properties of the bichromophoric systems suggest that energy transfer occurs through diffusional approach of the donor and acceptor within a van der Waals contact at which the exchange mechanism is presumed to dominate. Furthermore, akin to the behaviour of electron-transfer systems in the Marcus inverted region, a rate of energy transfer 2.5 times slower was observed for the system with the more favourable energetics, i.e. singlet-singlet energy transfer from DPSO proceeded slower than from DNSO, although the process is more exergonic for DPSO (-142 kJ mol(-1) for DPSO versus-67 kJ mol(-1) for DNSO).

Abstract
The quenching of the n,pi*-excited azoalkane 2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene by 19 heteroatom-containing electron and hydrogen donors, that is, amines, sulfides, ethers, and alcohols, was investigated in the gas phase. Deuterium isotope effects were measured for 9 selectively deuterated derivatives. The data support the involvement of an excited charge-transfer complex, that is, an exciplex, for tertiary amines and sulfides, and a competitive direct hydrogen transfer from the C-H bonds of ethers or from the N-H or O-H bonds of secondary and primary amines or alcohols. The recently observed "inverted" solvent effect for the fluorescence quenching of azoalkanes by amines and sulfides in solution is supported by the observed rate constants in the gas phase, which are substantially larger than those in solution. A more pronounced inverted solvent effect for the weaker electron-donating sulfides and a presumably faster exciplex deactivation result in a switch-over in absolute reactivity relative to tertiary amines in the gas phase. Most importantly, the kinetic data demonstrate that the reactivity of the strongly dipolar O-H and N-H bonds in photoinduced hydrogen abstraction reactions shows a larger decrease upon solvation than that of the less polar C-H bonds. The azoalkane data are compared with previous studies on quenching of n,pi*-triplet-excited ketones in the gas phase.

Abstract
We discuss the results of recent photochemical reaction path computations on 1n,pi* azoalkanes interacting with a single quencher molecule. We provide computational and experimental evidence that there are two basic mechanisms for the true quenching of 1n,pi* states both based on unsuccessful chemical reactions. The first mechanism is based upon an unsuccessful hydrogen atom transfer and may occur through two different (direct and stepwise) routes. The second mechanism is based on an unsuccessful charge transfer reaction that occurs exclusively in a direct fashion. We show that the efficiency of the two quenching mechanisms is substantially due to the existence of two different types of conical intersections between the excited and ground state potential energy surfaces of the reacting bimolecular system.

Abstract
Photoinduced hydrogen abstraction from aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbons (C(5) to C(7), C(12), as well as adamantane) by triplet aromatic ketones in the presence of alpha,beta-unsaturated (di)nitriles offers a straightforward entry to the corresponding alkylated (di)nitriles via the alkyl radicals. Yields are moderate to good depending on the olefins structure (substitution in beta slows down the addition to mononitriles, but with alpha,alpha-dinitriles electronic activation allows efficient alkylation also of beta,beta-disubstituted substrates). A tandem alkylation-cyclization process has been obtained with (1-methylpent-4-enylidene)malononitrile.

Abstract
The fluorescence and phosphorescence quenching of acetone by 13 aliphatic amines has been investigated. The bimolecular rate constants lie in the range of 10(8)-10(9) M(-1) s(-1) for singlet-excited acetone and 10(6)-10(8) M(-1) s(-1) for the triplet case. The rate data indicate that a direct hydrogen abstraction process dominates for triplet acetone, while a charge-transfer mechanism, namely, exciplex-induced quenching, becomes important for singlet-excited acetone. Pronounced stereoelectronic effects toward H abstraction, e.g., for 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO), and significant steric hindrance effects, e.g., for N,N-diisopropyl-3-pentylamine, are observed. A negative activation energy (E(a) = -0.9 +/- 0.2 kcal mol(-1) for triethylamine and DABCO) and the absence of a significant solvent effect on the fluorescence quenching of acetone are indicative of the involvement of exciplexes. Full electron transfer can be ruled out on the basis of the low reduction potential of acetone, which was found to lie below -3.0 V versus SCE. The participation of H abstraction for triplet acetone is corroborated by the respective quenching rate constants, which resemble the reaction rate constants for cumyloxyl radicals. The latter were measured for all 13 amines and showed also a dependence on the electron donor properties of the amines. It is suggested that the H abstraction proceeds directly and not through an exciplex or ion pair. Further, abstraction from N-H bonds in addition to alpha C-H bonds has been corroborated as a significant pathway for excited acetone. Product studies and quantum yields for photoreduction of singlet- and triplet-excited acetone by triethylamine (8% for S(1) versus 24% for T(1)) are in line with the suggested mechanisms of quenching through an exciplex and photoreduction through direct H abstraction.
