Theoretical Photochemistry : Halogenated Arenes, Phytochromobilin, Ru(II)polypyridyl complexes and 6-4 photoadducts

• This thesis presents Quantum Chemical calculations on the Photochemistry of Halogenated benzenes, Phytochromobilin, Ruthenium Polypyridyl complexes and 6-4 photoadducts in DNA. The work is focused on improving the understanding of a number of experimentally observed photochemical processes in these systems. New results regarding the mechanism of photodissociation of halogenated arenes, photointerconversion of phytochromobilin are presented, as well as of the photoprocesses of Ruthenium Polypyridyl complexes and new mechanistic insights in the repair of 6-4 photoadducts in DNA.
