Free radicals are increasingly recognized as active intermediate reactive species that can participate in various redox processes, significantly influencing the mechanistic pathways of reactions. Numerous researchers have investigated the generation of one or more distinct photogenerated radicals, proposing various hypotheses to explain the reaction mechanisms. Notably, recent research has demonstrated the emergence of photogenerated radicals in innovative processes, including organic chemical reactions and the photocatalytic dissolution of precious metals. To harness the potential of these free radicals more effectively, it is imperative to consolidate and analyze the processes and action modes of these photogenerated radicals. This conceptual paper delves into the latest advancements in understanding the mechanics of photogenerated radicals.
自由基越来越被认为是能够参与各种氧化还原过程的活性中间反应物种，对反应的机理途径有重大影响。众多研究人员对一种或多种不同的光生自由基的产生进行了研究，提出了各种假说来解释反应机制。值得注意的是，最近的研究表明，在包括有机化学反应和贵金属光催化溶解在内的创新过程中出现了光生自由基。为了更有效地利用这些自由基的潜力，巩固和分析这些光生自由基的过程和作用模式势在必行。这篇概念性论文深入探讨了理解光生自由基机理的最新进展。
