1st Edition

Organic Molecular Photochemistry

Edited By V. Ramamurthy, Kirk S. Schanze Copyright 1999

    Focuses on complex naturally occurring and synthetic supramolecular arrays. The text describes applications of photochemistry in cystalline organic matrices; covers two-component crystals - crystalline molecular compounds, mixed crystals and simple mechanical mixtures - in solid and liquid phases; assesses photoinduced fragmentation of carbon-heteroatom bonds; and more.

    Solid-state organic photochemistry of mixed molecular crystals; asymmetric photochemical reactions in solution; photochemical cis-trans isomerization in the triplet state; photochemical trans-cis isomerization from the singlet excited state; photochemical cleavage reactions of benzyl-heteroatom sigma bonds; photophysical probes for organized assemblies.

    "From reviews of Volume 1 in the Molecular and Supramolecular Photochemistry series. . . . . .may find utility in routine organic synthesis. . .may offer 'greener' alternatives to traditional synthetic routes. . . .will be of interest not only to photochemists but to all those with an interest in organic chemistry and synthetic methods.
