Description
Book SynopsisThis annual review provides critical analysis of the literature on photochemistry and its applications for anyone wanting to keep up to date with the field. Combining reviews on the latest advances in photochemical research with specific topical highlights, this book is the primary resource for anyone wanting succinct and rich information. The volume starts with periodical reports of the recent literature on physical and inorganic aspects, including the molecules of colour, light induced reactions in cryogenic matrices, photobiological systems studied by time-resolved infrared spectroscopy, photophysics and photochemistry of transition metal complexes, recent advances in photocatalytic water splitting, and finally a chapter on time-resolved spectroscopy application of LFP to heterogeneous photocatalysis. Coverage continues in the second part with highlighted topics including, among others, transition metal complexes-based photochemotherapy, advances in polaritonic photochemistry, synthetic strategies based on halogen atom transfer processes and photochemical water oxidation using metal-based chromospheres. This volume will again include a third section entitled SPR Lectures on Photochemistry, providing examples introducing academic readers to a photochemistry topic and precious help for students in photochemistry.
