Photochemistry : Volume 47

Drawing on the continued wealth of photochemical research, this volume combines reviews on the latest advances in the field with specific topical highlights. Starting with periodical reports of the recent literature on physical and inorganic aspects, light induced reactions in cryogenic matrices, properties of transition-metal compounds, time-resolved spectroscopy, the exploitation of solar energy and the molecules of colour. Coverage continues with highlighted topics, in the second part, from photoresponsive hydrogels, the tunable photoredox properties of organic dyes, light-driven asymmetric organocatalytic processes, dual gold-photoredox catalysis, the preparation and characterization of photosensitizers for triplet-triplet annihilation photon upconversion and the role of photochemistry on traditional synthetic processes.

This volume will include for the first time a 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 the topics, this book is essential reading for anyone wanting to keep up to date with the literature on photochemistry and its applications.
