Recent advances in the photochemistry of nitrogen-containing heterocycles have been reviewed in Volume 30 of this series. This review is intended to update an earlier review on the photochemistry of heterocycles2 with S. T. Reid, Adc. Heterocycl. Clwm. 30, 239 (1982). 

The photoelimination of nitrogen from azo compounds, diazo compounds, and azides is a topic that has been thoroughly reviewed elsewhere. These transformations are found in oxygen and sulfur heterocycles, but as they are not unique to these systems, they will not be discussed in this article. Examples can be found in a review on the photochemistry of nitrogen-containing heterocycles.1...

Topics that have formed the subjects of reviews this year include contemporary issues in electron transport research, dynamics of bimolecular photoelectron transfer reactions, photophysical properties of functionalised fullerene derivatives, carbon-carbon bond formation via radical ions, photoinduced electron transfer processes in ketone, aldehyde, and ester synthesis, photochemical reactions between arenenitriles and benzylic donors, photo-oxidation of conjugated dienes, photoredox reactions of aromatic nitro compounds, electron transfer-mediated photochemistry of some unsaturated nitrogen-containing compounds, reactions of 02( Ag), carbon dioxide activation by aza-macrocyclic complexes, and photochromism of chalcone derivatives. ... 

The photochemistry of nitrogen-containing compounds continues to attract attention although few reactions not easily predictable have been described in the year covered by this Report.

Few novel photoreactions have been described in nitrogen-containing compounds during the period covered by this report emphasis has again been placed on the further investigation and application of known nrocesses. Aspects of the photochemistry of heteroaromatic compounds have been reviewed. ...
