Photochemistry is vital to the survival of life on Earth. Light-triggered events serve primary functions in various biological events. The role of light in materials science needs no emphasis, and the value of solar energy has never been more evident than now. Photochemistry is no longer a discipline practiced by a few who are interested in understanding the excited state photochemistry and photophysics of selected molecules. The concepts of photochemistry have pervaded various disciplines, and research in this area is pursued not only by photochemists but also by physical organic chemists, chemical physicists, biologists, materials scientists, and industrial chemists.
The volumes in this series serve the needs of chemists who have interest in using light to control the excited state chemistry of organic, inorganic, and biological molecules.
This volume contains seven chapters written by inteational experts on the photochemistry and photophysics of organic, inorganic, and biological molecules.
