Photochemistry is undergoing a renaissance at the moment.  This presentation will show how the combination of photochemistry and fast spectroscopy in conventional and supercritical fluids is used to shed new light on both fundamental and applied reactions.  In particularly developments in time-resolved IR spectroscopy provides powerful insight into unraveling reaction mechanisms and the elucidation of the chemistry of highly reactive organometallic alkane and noble gas complexes.  From the applied side the application of sunlight for large-scale chemical manufacturing was proposed more than a century ago by the pioneering Italian chemist, Ciamician However, the widespread implementation of photochemistry in modern chemical industry faces many challenges and will present our recent efforts to try and contribute to this Green Chemical vision and to particularly highlight the art of communication and how Martyn has influenced me over the years.
