Good read on the fundamentals of solvent choice and how it modifies the energies between electronic states in photochemical reactions!

Cool way of selectively synthesizing cyclopropanes through photochemical methods. Particularly of interest is how they avoided competitive C-H functionalization by using cyclooctatetraene, an underused synthetic substrate that undergoes a "tub" conformation to stay aromatic.
