Photochemical Reaction

Light is so strong energy source that it can cleave chemical bonds in a molecule. However, it does not follow that light can cleave any bond in a molecule, because a certain specific structure is required to absorb and utilize energy from the light.
We are currently developing organic photocatalyst which can absorb light and enable a chemical reaction that could not be realized thermally.
