title: Enhanced photoreactivity of the nitrobiphenyl chromophore.
abstract: Several p-nitrobiphenyl derivatives show significantly higher photoreactivity compared to their p-nitrophenyl analogs, in addition to displaying a new acid-catalyzed photodecarboxylation mechanism in p-(p'-nitrophenyl)-phenylacetic acid.
