Photochemical methods for isotopic labeling connect two favorite interests: drug metabolism and photochemistry. Isotope labeled drugs are critical in ADME studies, imaging, and radiolabeled ligand binding studies…

Choose Your Own Adventure (with photoinduced cross-coupling)
At first we decided to summarize the Ni cross-coupling photocatalysis literature in a short review—But we quickly realized that’s a terrible idea. Instead, we took on the much more enjoyable task and screen this chemistry with the Lucent360.
Application Note 4: C-N bond formation wavelength screening
Designing a custom C-N bond formation screening using the multi-light screener in the Lucent360™ Description With the Lucent360™ you can screen up to 4 four wavelengths independently in one experiment, while also controlling for temperature and...
Application Note 2: Screening Photon Flux Intensities
Screening light intensity for a photochemical Arbuzov reaction Description With the Lucent360™ you can perform screening photon flux Intensities with up to 4 four light intensities in one experiment, while also controlling for temperature....
Photochemistry Surprises!!!
Featuring a project where “hey that’s weird & very wrong” turns into something fantastic: Bold decisions, stubbornness & ingenuity result in a new opportunity.
Photocatalytic Deconstruction of Polystyrene
What if we could shine a blue LED on our 8 billion tons of plastic waste and get back a valuable chemical feedstock? Click to read about the Reisner group’s work looking at tackling this problem.
Photocatalysis in Seawater
Seawater: It’s abundant, messy, contains salts, microorganisms, biomass, organic and inorganic pollutants (and microplastics) and might just be a great solvent for generating hydrogen peroxide with visible light photocatalysis
Comparing Commercial Photoreactors
How should we compare commercial photoreactors? Or better yet, how do we discuss the important details of a photochemical reaction?
Introducing the Lucent360
The Lucent360’s flexible design gives you the best options to learn everything you need to know to take your photochemical reactions from screen to scale.
Photochemistry of earth-abundant metals
A recurring theme in our recent articles: there isn’t enough iridium or ruthenium in the earth’s crust to do all the photochemistry we’d like to do at scale.
Using Multiphoton Excitation To Generate Potent Photooxidants
Our review of a recent Wickens paper describing the formation of powerful new photooxidants through a mechanism of multiphoton excitation.
