CHEM 301: Lab in Chemical Structure and Reactivity (HC) Fall 2023

Suggestion from Fran Blase: 

• How are Salen compounds used in photochemistry?
• Compare searches in ChapGPT and in a database like SciFinder-n 

Here's the true story of how I approached this question...

1. Gain an introductory understanding of a topic
2. Get the vocabulary around a topic and ideas for search words

What I learned from ChatGPT:

• Salen compound OR salen complex OR Schiff base complex
• Photochemistry OR photoredox OR light
• Green chemistry is especially relevant around Salen compounds
