Photochemistry

Overview

Our photochemistry group was founded in 2017 to provide custom research services in photochemistry.

 

  • Innovative method scouting, multiple synthetic disconnections, experienced and smart route design
  • >15,000 reactions completed per year with 70% average success rate
  • Strong expertise in photocatalytic reactions (blue light, white light, purple light, mercury lamp)
  • >100 commercial and integrated reactors, lamps with multiple wavelength
  • >30 types of photocatalysts, including in house synthesis of a variety of photoreactive iridium catalysts
  • Experience with many photochemistry reactions, supporting more than 50+ reaction types (e.g. catalytic hydroamination, silyl radical activation of alkyl halides in metallaphotoredox catalysis, native functionality in triple catalytic cross-coupling)
