Beyond absorption maxima: the impact of wavelength-resolved photochemistry on materials science
Challenging the belief that maximal photochemical reactivity occurs at absorption maxima, this work argues that reactivity can peak at lower absorption wavelengths, with significant implications for volumetric 3D printing and materials science.
