Organic Photochemistry and Photophysics

Featuring contributions from leading experts, Organic Photochemistry and Photophysics addresses the organic photochemistry and photophysical behavior in aromatic molecules, thiocarbonyls, selected porphyrins, and metalloporphyrins. Topics include excited-state proton-transfer reactions of aromatic compounds, the effects of atom transfer reactions to photoamination as a convenient, powerful, and environmentally friendly synthetic process, and how dye structure affects the sequence-dependence of DNA binding. This is a unique, comprehensive reference that discusses topics useful for researchers as well as newcomers to photochemistry, photobiology, photomedicine, and photophysics.

"[This book] is a reference that should be useful to experts in the field for an in-depth survey of the recent literature. As most of the chapters include a concise introduction, the book can also serve as an excellent resource for graduate students or anyone who is new to the fields of organic photochemistry and photophysics."
