Book Description
Photochemistry — 7 is a collection of plenary lectures presented at the Seventh Symposium on Photochemistry held in Leuven, Belgium, on July 24-28, 1978. Contributors explore a wide range of topics relating to photochemistry, including the chemistry of exciplexes and the photo-oxidation of polymers. Excited state electron-transfer reactions of transition metal complexes are also discussed, along with the photochemistry of diazocompounds and azides in argon. This volume is comprised of 12 chapters and begins with a review of the role of exciplex intermediates in photocycloadditions involving polyenes and excited anthracenes. The reader is then introduced to the use of photochemical conversion of one molecule into another as an approach to the synthesis of natural products. The following chapters focus on the use of the Linear Combination of Fragment Configurations approach to generate qualitative potential energy surfaces; reciprocal interactions of polymers with excited solutes or polymer-bound chromophores; photochemistry of some three-membered heterocycles; cis-trans photoisomerization of 4-nitrostilbenes; and electron transfer in monolayer assemblies. This monograph will be of value to chemists.

Basic Physical Chemistry for the Atmospheric Sciences
Author: Peter V. Hobbs
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521785679
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Revised and updated in 2000, Basic Physical Chemistry for the Atmospheric Sciences provides a clear, concise grounding in the basic chemical principles required for studies of atmospheres, oceans, and earth and planetary systems. Undergraduate and graduate students with little formal training in chemistry can work through the chapters and the numerous exercises within this book before accessing the standard texts in the atmospheric chemistry, geochemistry, and the environmental sciences. The book covers the fundamental concepts of chemical equilibria, chemical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, solution chemistry, acid and base chemistry, oxidation-reduction reactions, and photochemistry. In a companion volume entitled Introduction to Atmospheric Chemistry (2000, Cambridge University Press) Peter Hobbs provides an introduction to atmospheric chemistry itself, including its applications to air pollution, acid rain, the ozone hole, and climate change. Together these two books provide an ideal introduction to atmospheric chemistry for a variety of disciplines.

Photochemical and Photobiological Reviews
Author: Kendric C. Smith
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1468435515
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
The goals of the science of photobiology can be divided into four categories: to develop (I) ways to optimize the beneficial effects of light on man and his environment, (2) methods to protect organisms, including man, from the detrimental effects of light, (3) photochemical tools for use in studies of life processes, and (4) photochemical therapies in medicine. To achieve these goals will require the knowledgeable collaboration of biologists, chemists, engineers, mathematicians, physicians, and physicists; because photobiology is a truly multidisciplinary science. While a multidis ciplinary science is more intellectually demanding, it also has a greater potential for unexpected breakthroughs that can occur when data from several areas of science are integrated into new concepts for theoretical or practical use. Photochemical and Photobiological Reviews continues to provide in depth coverage of the many specialty areas of photobiology. It is hoped that these reviews will provide an important service to the younger scientists in the field and to senior scientists in related fields, because they provide a ready access to the recent literature in the field, and more importantly, they frequently offer a critical evaluation of the direction that the field is taking, or suggest a redirection when appropriate. Since it is important that this review series remain responsive to the needs of photochemists and photobiologists, the Editor would value com ments and suggestions from its readers.

Energy Resources through Photochemistry and Catalysis
Author: Michael Gratzel
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0323145140
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 588
Book Description
Energy Resources through Photochemistry and Catalysis reviews the state of the art in the development of energy conversion devices based on catalytic and photochemical reactions. The focus is on catalysis of redox reactions and their application to the photocleavage of water, reduction of carbon dioxide, and fixation of nitrogen. Some fundamental aspects of catalysis as it relates to processes of light energy harvesting and charge separation in photochemical or photoelectrochemical conversion systems are also discussed. This monograph is comprised of 16 chapters covering light-induced redox reactions and reaction dynamics in organized assemblies such as micelles, colloidal metals, or semiconductors, together with strategies for molecular engineering of artificial photosynthetic devices. The principles of electrochemical conversion of light energy via semiconductor electrodes or semiconducting particles are also considered. Furthermore, thermodynamic characteristics for some reactions that can be utilized for storage of solar energy in the form of chemical energy are examined. The remaining chapters look at the role of porphyrins in natural and artificial photosynthesis; the use of semiconductor powders and particulate systems for photocatalysis and photosynthesis; and hydrogen-generating solar cells based on platinum-group metal activated photocathodes. This text will be a useful resource for scientists and policymakers concerned with finding alternative sources of energy.

Elements of Organic Photochemistry
Author: D. Cowan
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1468421301
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 594
Book Description
In the past fifteen years organic photochemistry has undergone a greater change and has stimulated more interest than probably any other area of organic chemistry. What has resulted is a population explosion, that is, an ever-increasing number of organic chemists are publishing important and exciting research papers in this area. Professor Bryce-Smith in the introduc tion to a recent volume of the Specialist Periodical Report (Photochemistry, Volume 6), which reviews the photochemical literature in yearly intervals, states that "the flood of photochemical literature is showing some signs of abatement from the high levels of two or three years ago .... " However, Volume 6 of that periodical contains 764 pages of excellent but very concise reviews. We expect the development of the mechanistic aspects of organic photo chemistry to continue at the present pace as new methods are developed to probe in increasing detail and shorter time scales the photochemical dynamics of both old and new photoreactions. Since photochemistry is no longer the sole domain of the specialist, it is relatively safe to predict a dramatic increase in the near future of the synthetic and industrial uses of organic photo chemistry .
