Solar Radiation
• What wavelengths are present?
This depends on the wavelengths given off by the sun (black body radiation) AND the wavelengths absorbed by the atmosphere

• The pigments of life
• Chlorophyll
• Heme (e.g. Myoglobin)
• Carotenoids, retinal etc.
• These chromophores are conjugated molecules

Some UV Radiation Does Reach the Earth
• How is UV distinct from visible?
• Almost double the energy per photon!
• Makes radicals, causes significant chemical reactions
• Skin cancer, begins with “DNA damage”

Photochemistry of Alkenes: DNA Damage
• Several akenes can be combined to form larger carbon “skeletons”
• Lets review the orbitals that might be involved

![Page 27: Spectroscopy with Milder Photons: Molecular Vibrations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814736550346895db4737c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Combining two alkenes• Reactants: three double
bonds (612 kJ/mole), one single bond (348 kJ/mole) 2184
• Product: one double bond, five single bonds 2352
• More stable• If aligned by matching the
orbitals of two reactants: highest occupied and lowest unoccupied, can react.
![Page 28: Spectroscopy with Milder Photons: Molecular Vibrations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814736550346895db4737c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
UV Photochemistry• Reactants: two double bonds (612
kJ/mole), 1224• Product: four single bonds (348
kJ/mole), 1392 • More stable
• However… cannot align orbitals properly in ground state to react.
• Use light: reaction begins from an excited state, e.g. LUMO and LUMO can match
• Many alkenes undergo bond forming reactions in response to light.

Summary: UV and Visible
• Visible light is sufficient for electronic transitions and sometimes for eject electrons from substances if thery are large pigments with loosely bound electrons. The latter is the basis for the generation of essentially all fuels. Rarely are these are destructive processes.
• Ultraviolet light is sufficient for larger electronic transitions, to eject electrons from many substances, and to facilitate otherwise impossible chemical reactions. Commonly these are destructive processes.

Sunscreen
• Para aminobenzoic acid (PABA) blocks some of the UV irradiation (right).
• Titanium oxide is also used for this purpose, but it has no chromophore. How can this work?

Sunblock
• PABA para aminobenzoic acid: absorbs UV (bluish tinge)
• Titanium dioxide: scatters UV (bright white)

Photodynamic Therapy
The porphyrin excited states react with water and oxygen to generate reactive/toxic chemical species (radicals, and excited electronic states).
(Abs 390 - 450 nm)
Like many molecules, porphyrins are selectively taken up by cancer cells

Greenhouse• Visible Light Comes to
Earth from Sun
• Infrared Leaves earth: does it fail to escape atmosphere?
• It can either pass through the atmosphere, be absorbed and re-radiated, or be absorbed and converted to heat.
