Our photoreactor LEDs are designed for photo-catalytic chemistry applications to irradiate all samples with maximum efficiency.
The EvoluChem™ LED spotlights are designed specifically for photo-catalytic chemistry applications. They fit the PhotoRedOx Box™ and they are designed to irradiate all samples with maximum efficiency. The LED chips are selected for specific wavelengths of 365 nm, 380 nm, 390 nm, 405 nm, 425 nm, 427 nm, 440 nm, 450 nm, 467 nm, 475 nm, 525 nm, 550 nm, 650 nm, 690 nm, 740 nm, 808 nm and 6200K white.

Our latest addition to the family of EvoluChem™ LEDs is our 650PF (pictured above) which enables red light photochemical reactions. We also offer 740nm NIR..
For most of the previous century, photochemistry invoked images of high-powered mercury lamps, intense UV light and classical reactions such as [2+2]-cycloadditions, cyclizations and radical rearrangements (Ref 1). This changed more than ten years ago with the rediscovery of photoredox chemistry and the increased availability of LEDs (Ref 2). Irradiation of common photocatalysts such as ruthenium and iridium with visible light from blue LEDs (450-470 nm) afforded highly oxidative and reductive photocatalysts able to activate difficult organometallic cross-coupling reactions. Blue LEDs (450 nm) and photoreactors are now common in many synthetic labs with seemingly unlimited applications in organic synthesis (Ref 3). Now, a number of red light applications in photochemistry are expanding the options available to synthetic organic chemists. This post provides an overview of many of these red light applications.
While most of our LEDs are standard (Par) format, our DX series LEDs are fitted with a more powerful 30W power supply but still fit all EvoluChem™ Photoreactors.
