Metal-free photochemical silylations and transfer hydrogenations of benzenoid hydrocarbons and graphene
The first hydrogenation step of benzene, which is endergonic in the electronic ground state (S0), becomes exergonic in the first triplet state (T1). This is in line with Baird's rule, which tells that benzene is antiaromatic and destabilized in its T1 state and also in its first singlet excited...
