Abstract
Despite the need for quantitative measurements of light intensity across many scientific disciplines, existing technologies for measuring light dose at the sample of a fluorescence microscope cannot simultaneously retrieve light intensity along with spatial distribution over a wide range of wavelengths and intensities. To address this limitation, we developed two rapid and straightforward protocols that use organic dyes and fluorescent proteins as actinometers. The first protocol relies on molecular systems whose fluorescence intensity decays and/or rises in a monoexponential fashion when constant light is applied. The second protocol relies on a broad-absorbing photochemically inert fluorophore to back-calculate the light intensity from one wavelength to another. As a demonstration of their use, the protocols are applied to quantitatively characterize the spatial distribution of light of various fluorescence imaging systems, and to calibrate illumination of commercially available instruments and light sources.

Abstract
1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions of nitrones with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes catalyzed by a cationic chiral dirhodium(II,III) carboxamidate with (R)-menthyl (S)-2-oxopyrrolidine-5-carboxylate ligands in toluene increase reaction rates, give optimum regioselectivities, and enhance stereoselectivities compared to the same reactions performed in traditionally used halocarbon solvents. Rate and enantioselectivity enhancements were also obtained in hetero-Diels-Alder and carbonyl-ene reactions performed in toluene over those obtained in dichloromethane using the diastereomeric chiral cationic dirhodium(II,III) carboxamidate with (S)-menthyl (S)-2-oxopyrrolidine-5-carboxylate ligands. These enhancements are attributed to diminished or absent association of toluene with the catalyst which lessens the relative importance of the uncatalyzed background reaction, and they may also be a consequence of different coordination angles for aldehyde association with rhodium in the different solvent environments. Overall, the enhancement of reaction rates and selectivities with cationic chiral dirhodium(II,III) carboxamidates in toluene suggests broad applications for them in Lewis acid catalyzed reactions.
