Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Photochemistry is the branch of chemistry that focuses on the chemical effects of light, particularly the reactions initiated by the absorption of ultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation. Common photochemical reactions include bioluminescence, photoresists, photosynthesis, vision, photodegradation, and photodynamic therapy. Notable principles and laws in this field include the Grotthuss-Draper law, Stark-Einstein law, Kasha's rule, and Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity. Photochemistry constitutes several subfields, including organic photochemistry, inorganic photochemistry, and organometallic photochemistry. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to the field of photochemistry. The various sub-fields of photochemistry along with technological progress that have future implications are glanced at in here. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels.
