Photo Chemistry

Photochemistry studies of those molecules


which absorbs light radiation of spectrum
in uv(100-400nm) and visible (400-750nm)
region and become electronically excited
Basic laws of Photochemistry
 First law or Grothus-draper law
 2nd law or Stark-Einstein law

1-The first law states that light must be absorbed for photochemistry to occur
If a light of particular wavelength is not absorb by the system no photochemistry
will occur and no changes occur no matter how long one irradiates with the
wavelength of light.Only that light which is abosorbed by a system can cause
chemical change

INTRACTION OF
ELECTROMAGNETIC
RADIATION WITH
MATTER
Photochemsitry is the study of reactions
which are caused by intraction of light
Here light means spectrum When beam
of sunlight pass though a prism it splits
into seven different colours this set of
colours obtained by spliting is called
Spectrum
THE ELECTROMAGNETIC
SPECTRUM
The electromagnetic spectrum represents the range of energy
from low energy, low frequency radio waves with long
wavelengths up to high energy, high frequency gamma
waves with small wavelengths.
The intraction of electromagnetic radiation with matter, first
we should understand the complete spectrum of
electromagnetic radiation from radioactive rays to radio
waves Cosmic rays come from the and are known to be
radiation of highest energy radio waves have the longest
wavelenght more than 10-7nm
Properties of
electromagnetic waves

1- All matter contation charged particle that are always


moving therefore all object emit electromagnetic waves

2- The wavelength becomes shorter all the temperature


of matter increases

3- EM waves carry radiant energy


Parameters of
electromagnetic waves

WAVELENGTH- distance from


crust to crust

FREQUENCY- Number of
wavelength that pass a given
point in 1 second

WAVENUMBER- It is the
number of waves per unit cm
For photochemistry only
UV and visible a small
part of the full
electromagnetic
spectrum is needed
Classification of
Electronic Transitions
• The wavelength of an electronic
transition depends on the
energy difference between the
G.S. and the E.S. It is a useful
approximation to consider the λ
of to be determined by the ΔE of
MO originally occupied by the
e’s at G.S. and the higher
excited MO in E.S.
• The order: σ ->π ->n->π* ->σ*

• 1.Σ→Σ* TRANSITIONS: FOR CPDS.

type
WITH ΣBOND ONLY, HIGH ΔE, SHORT Λ
(< 200 NM).
• APPEARS IN SATD. HYDROCARBONS
WITH Σ ORBITAL AND TRANSITION TO
ANTIBONDING Σ* OR TO MOLECULAR
RYDBERG ORBITAL (HIGHER VALENCE
SHELL ORBITALS, 3S, 3P, 4S, …), AND
INVOLVES LARGE ΔE, AND SMALL ΛMAX
THAT APPEARS IN FAR-UV REGION.
• EX. CYCLOPROPANE ΛMAX 190 NM.

transition
type
• 2. n→π* transitions : the
excitation of an electron on an
nonbonding orbital, such as
unshared pair e’s on O, N,
S,..to an antibonding π*,
usually in an double bond with
hetero atoms, such as C=O,
C=S, N=O, etc. A sym.
forbidden and low intensity
transition.
UV
transition
type
• 3.π→π* transitions : for cpds.
containing double, triple bonds, or
aromatic rings; a π electron is excited to
an antibonding π* orbital. This is
usually a sym. allowed and high
intensity transition.
• Ethylene : absorbs at 162 nm (10000),
in vacuum UV. Extended conjugation
lowers, ΔE, and increase in λmax, if
extended beyond 5 double bonds then
getting into visible region.
UV transition
type
• 4. n→σ* transitions: excitation from
nonbonding orbital to an antibonding
σ* orbital.
Ex. CH3OH(vap.) 183 nm (ε 150)
NEt3(vap.) 227 nm (900)
MeI(hexane) 258 nm (380)
• 5. Rydberg transition: mainly to higher
excited states. For most organic
molecules occurs at λ below 200 nm.
Part of a series of molecular electronic
transitions occurs with narrowing
spacing nearing the ionization
potential of organic molecule.

!- FLUORESCENCE- WHEN A LIGHT RADIATION


IS ABSORBED BY A COMPOUND ITS
ELECTRON GOES TO HIGHER ENERGY LEVEL
FROM LOWER ENERGY LEVEL. WHEN THE
ELECTRON RETURNS TO THE NORMAL
POSITION WITH THE EMOTION OF LIGHT
ENERGY
IT TAKES PLACE AS SOON AS THE LIGHT IS
ABSORBED AND CASES AS SOON AS LIGHT IS
STOPPED
THE TIME PERIOD TAKEN BY THIS PROCESS IS
10-8 SEC
Phosphorescence-: The molecule with relatively stable
excited state may undergo transition to a meta stable singlet or
triplet state and after some time return to the gram state by
emission of UV or visible vision
It is also known as slow fluorescence
The time taken by this process is 10-3 second

Internal conversion(IC)- a Molecule returns to its ground state s0 from


its exited singlet state s1 or s2 by giving up its energy as heat.

Intersystem crossing(Isc) - Some


molecules from the s1 state may
drop to triplet state t1 state thus the
transition from exited singlet to
exited triplet state

S0- singlet ground state


S1 and S2 exited singlet singlet state t1
triplet state

FRANK CODON
PRINCIPLE
 Given by James frank in 1925
 It states that as electron move very faster than nuclei as effectively stationary during an
electronic transition
 This principle allow to calculate the probability of a transition from some vibrational level
V1 of initial state to another vibrational level of the final state

Frank codon potential energy diagram

The potential wells are shown favouring


transition between v=0 to and V=2
 Frank codon principle is a rule in spectroscopy and quantum chemistry that explain the
intensity of vibronic transition

Vibronic transition are the simultaneous change in electronic and vibrational energy level of
a molecule due to absorption or emission of a photon of the energy level

According to GOVINJEE – What happen to atom absorbes a photon when light is absorbed
each quantum is taken up by a single atom The absorbing atom or molecule is thus exited that
is lifted from its normal state of lowest energy (highest stablity ) to exited state (energy rich
state)

According to Niel Bohr’s theory of atomic and molecular structure an ato or molecule can
exits only in a series of discreet state of electronic energy

PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF
CARBONYL COMPOUND
To study the photochemiacal reaction of carbonyl compouds
there are found four important primary photochemical
reactions-
1-In a photochemical reaction, when cleavage of alpha-bond to
carbonyl group takes place it is called alpha cleavage or norrish
type-1 process
2- If a beta bond to the carbonyl group has to cleaved during a
photochemical reaction it will acccompany an abstraction of
intramolecular hydrogen bond this is called nourish type-2
process
3- if the reaction is intermolecular the hydrogern atom will
abstract from the oxygen of the carbonyl group
4- Addition of carbonyl oxygen will occur to a carbon-carbon
double bond
Norrish type-1 Process-: In nourish type-1
process cleavage takes in alpha carbon bond In
the the initial primary process a diratical is
formed by photolysis of cyclohexanone and
then it is followed by secondary process which
results in the formation of a mixture of carbon
mono-oxide cyclopentane and 5-hexanal
Norrish type 2nd process-: Norrish type 2nd process
or cleavage is also known as beta cleavage this
type of reaction is possible if bond between alpha
and beta carbon is weak

In open chain compound


Mechanism-
Intra molecular photo recations in beta, gamma unsaturated carbonyl compound- In these
reaction carbonyl compouds consist of alpha cleavage the oral reaction follow by two
modes
1- In the first 1,3-acyl shift is involved which form an isomeric beta gamma unsaturated
ketones
2- In this step ring closure process takes place
Reaction of carbonyl compound with alkyne

In this reaction onetime is formed which gets


isomerism and gave alpha beta unsaturated
carbonyl compounds this reaction undergo
photochemical reaction
