Abstract

Molecules possessing \(\pi \) electrons play a central role in organic photochemistry and photophysics [2]. In the previous chapter, we encountered examples of such molecules all containing the carbonyl chromophore. In this chapter, we will focus on non+aromatic molecules containing carbon-carbon double bonds, i.e. alkenes. Alkenes participate in a plethora of reactions induced by light such as photoisomerization [3–10], electrocyclic ring opening and closing [11–22], sigmatropic rearrangement [23–25], and cycloaddition [26, 27].

Notes

  1. 1.

    Strictly, the \(V\) labels of Mulliken refer to singly excited configurations, however, the \(V_2\) state mixes with a higher lying doubly excited configuration to attain partial doubly excited character, and we use the \(V_2\) label to refer to this state and character.
