Picosecond to millisecond tracking of a photocatalytic decarboxylation reaction provides direct mechanistic insights

The photochemical decarboxylation of carboxylic acids is a versatile route to free radical intermediates for chemical synthesis. However, the sequential nature of this multi-step reaction renders the mechanism challenging to probe. Here, we employ a 100 kHz mid-infrared probe in a transient absorpti...
