Abstract:Hexafluorobenzene and many of its derivatives exhibit a chemoselective photochemical
isomerization, resulting in highly-strained, Dewar-type bicyclohexenes. While the changes in
absorption and emission associated with benzene hexafluorination have been attributed to the socalled “perfluoro effect,” the resulting electronic structure and photochemical reactivity of
hexafluorobenzene are still unclear. We now use a combination of ultrafast time-resolved
spectroscopy, multiconfigurational computations, and non-ad… Show more
