Photochemical study reveals an ionic heavy-atom effect in crystalline beta,gamma-unsaturated ketones, indicating tunable excited-state reactivity in the solid state.
Key Points
To investigate the influence of ionic heavy-atom perturbers on the photochemical behavior of a beta,gamma-unsaturated ketone in the solid state.
Examined the solid-state photochemical transformations of a beta,gamma-unsaturated ketone in crystalline form containing heavy-atom counterions.
Observed altered solid-state photochemical reaction pathways mediated by the ionic heavy-atom effect.
Demonstrated that heavy-atom counterions modulate excited-state dynamics and product distributions within the crystal lattice.
