This annual review, the 50th volume in the series, provides critical analysis for anyone wanting to keep up to date with the literature on photochemistry and its applications. This essential volume combines reviews on the latest advances in photochemical research with specific topical highlights in the field. The volume starts with periodical reports of the recent literature on organic and computational aspects, including computational advances in photochemistry, chemiluminescence and dark photochemistry, organic aspects of photochemistry of alkenes, dienes and polyenes, aromatic compounds, oxygen-containing functions and those functions containing other heteroatoms, and finally a chapter on transition metal catalysis. Coverage continues in the second part with highlighted topics including photochemical tools for sensing and controlling biological processes, visible light driven enantioselective processes, photochemical formation of C–Chalcogen bonds, photoelectrocatalysis, photovoltaic techniques, photochemical activation of aryl chlorides, luminescent water-soluble systems and computational analyses of fluorescence absorption spectra. This volume will again include a third section entitled ‘SPR Lectures on Photochemistry’, providing examples for academic readers to introduce a photochemistry topic and precious help for students in photochemistry.

Providing critical analysis of emerging and well-established topics, this book is essential reading for anyone wanting to keep up to date with the literature on photochemistry and its applications. Volume 49 combines reviews on the latest advances in photochemical research with specific highlights in the field. The first section includes periodical reports of the recent literature on physical and inorganic aspects, including reviews of the molecules employed as dyes in art, light induced reactions in cryogenic matrices, photobiological systems studied by time-resolved infrared spectroscopy and photophysics, and photochemistry of transition metal complexes. This selection is completed by reviews of the literature on solar photocatalysis for water decontamination and disinfection and for water splitting/hydrogen production. Coverage continues in the second part with highlighted topics, from the use of aromatic carbonyls as photocatalysts and photoinitiators in synthesis, photoinduced and photocatalysed decarboxylation reactions, development of dye-sensitized solar cells, design of luminescent water-soluble systems, and applications of plasmonic nanoparticles. This volume also includes a third section entitled ‘SPR Lectures on Photochemistry’, where leading scientists in photochemistry provide examples to introduce a photochemical topic to academic readers, offering precious assistance to students in this field.
