{Improved|Enhanced} photodecarboxylation properties in zinc photocages constructed {using|utilizing|making use of|employing|working with|applying} m-nitrophenylacetic acid variants

The methoxy- and fluoro-derivatives of meta-nitrophenylacetic acid (mNPA) chromophores undergo photodecarboxylation with comparable quantum yields to unsubstituted mNPA, but uncage at red-shifted excitation wavelengths. This observation prompted us to investigate…
