Photochemistry with Plane-Polarized Light: Controlling Photochemical Reactions via Selective Choice of Excited States and Breaking Kasha’s Rule

Abstract Controlling the course of photochemical reactions hinges on the possibility to selectively form a specific singlet excited state. When alternative excited states are energetically close, they are generated simultaneously upon initial photoexcitation, with each excited st...
