Principles and Applications of Photochemistry

Based on a course given by the author, this text provides an introduction to the principles and applications of photochemistry. Covering both principles and applications, the 12 chapters are organised in the following way:
General introduction to the concepts of light and matter and their interaction resulting in electronically excited statesProcesses involving physical deactivation of the electronically excited statesAn overview of the chemical properties of excited statesPhotochemical reactions of Alkenes and Carbonyl CompoundsTechniques used in photochemical reactionsThe outstanding progress that has been made in recent years
Throughout Principles and Applications of Photochemistry, the reader’s understanding is enhanced with learning objectives, worked examples and chapter summaries. Written at a level suitable for undergraduates, this book is ideal for students in chemistry, physics and related topics, as well as serving more experienced researchers needing an introduction to this subject area.
