Ramamurthy V., Schanze K.S. (ed.) Molecular and Supramolecular Photochemistry. Volume 9. Photochemistry of Organic Molecules in Isotropic and Anisotropic Media

Marcel Dekker, Inc. 2003. - 408 p.
Owing to the dedicated efforts of numerous chemists, photochemistry has reached a stage of maturity - considerable knowledge has been accumulated concerning the excited-state behavior of both organic and inorganic molecules, and basic rules of the discipline have been laid out. To keep this knowledge intact and readily available it is necessary to periodically review the information that has been accumulated. With this in mind, this series continues to provide in-depth coverage of various aspects of photoscience.
Chapters 1 through 4 summarize the basic excited-state reactions of organic molecules. Chapters 5 and 6 present the existing knowledge on controlling and manipulating two reactions: electron transfer and oxygenation. Chapters 7 and 8 describe how one exploits the available information in materials applications. These chapters as a group provide a nice illustration of collection, manipulation, and exploitation of knowledge for our benefit.Preface
