Course description and aims

[Summary of the course] This course focuses on the fundamental concepts and practical examples of organic photoreaction, including conventional organic photoreactions, photoredox catalysis, photochromic molecules, photoreactions in cavities, and solid-state photoreactions.
[Aim of the course] Light is a "green" chemical tool for organic synthesis and its importance and utility have greatly increased in modern organic chemisrty. The aim of this course is to facilitate students' understanding of a wide range of organic photoreactions and their synthetic strategies.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to explain (1) conventional organic photoreactions, (2) the theory and practice of photoredox catalysis, (3) photochromic molecules, (4) photoreactions in organic and coordination cavities, and (5) solid-state photoreactions.

Keywords

Photoreaction, Photoredox catalysis, Photochromic molecule, Cavity, Solid-state photoreaction

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Lectures will be given in the following order: (1) general introduction, (2) conventional organic photoreactions, (3) photoredox catalysis, (4) photochromic molecules, (5) photoreactions in cavities, and (6) solid-state photoreactions. Students' understanding will be checked by a quiz or question-and-answer in each topic.
