Photochemical Dehalogenation of Aryl Halides: Importance of Halogen Bonding (2019)
Journal Article
Elhage, A., Costa, P., Nasim, A., Lanterna, A. E., & Scaiano, J. C. (2019). Photochemical Dehalogenation of Aryl Halides: Importance of Halogen Bonding. Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 123(47), 10224-10229. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpca.9b06716

Upon UVA irradiation, aryl halides can undergo dehalogenation in the presence of bases and methanol as a hydrogen donor. This catalyst-free photochemical dehalogenation is furnished through a facile radical chain reaction under mild conditions. The c...

A green road map for heterogeneous photocatalysis (2019)
Journal Article
Scaiano, J. C., & Lanterna, A. E. (2020). A green road map for heterogeneous photocatalysis. Pure and Applied Chemistry, 92(1), 63-73. https://doi.org/10.1515/pac-2019-0207

In the new millennium the well-established paradigms of organic photochemistry have come alive as the basis for a wide range of synthetic methodologies that take advantage of the enhanced redox properties of excited states. While many strategies have... Read More about A green road map for heterogeneous photocatalysis.

A Mechanistic Study of Halogen Addition and Photoelimination from π-Conjugated Tellurophenes (2016)
Journal Article
Carrera, E. I., Lanterna, A. E., Lough, A. J., Scaiano, J. C., & Seferos, D. S. (2016). A Mechanistic Study of Halogen Addition and Photoelimination from π-Conjugated Tellurophenes. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 138(8), 2678-2689. https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5b11649

The ability to drive reactivity using visible light is of importance for many disciplines of chemistry and has significant implications for sustainable chemistry. Identifying photochemically active compounds and understanding photochemical mechanisms... Read More about A Mechanistic Study of Halogen Addition and Photoelimination from π-Conjugated Tellurophenes.
