Mechanistic Insights into Photo-Induced Bond Dissociation of a 2‑(4-Nitrophenyl)-1H-indole-3-ylmethyl (NPIM) Derivative: A Case Study on Quantum Spin-Manipulation for Uncaging
Photolabile protecting groups (PPGs) are indispensable tools for spatiotemporally controlled release of reactive functional groups. Recently, we proposed a quantum spin-manipulation (QSM-1) strategy that employs triplet ground-state cations to render ion-pair recombination spin-forbidden, thereby enhancing the uncaging...
