Modern Molecular
Photochemistry of Organic Molecules

is a comprehensive revision of
Turro's classic text, Modern Molecular Photochemistry, which has been
the standard of the field for three decades. For a crystal-clear introduction
to organic photochemistry in pictorial terms, this book comprises all of the same
introductory chapters that make up Principles of Molecular
Photochemistry, but then goes on to provide additional chapters that
cover the methods for determining the mechanisms of organic
photoreactions, and describe comprehensively the photochemistry of the basic
functional groups of organic chemistry. The text also includes special topic
chapters on supramolecule organic photochemistry, the first of its kind,
and the role of triplet and singlet molecular oxygen in organic
photochemistry.This text will be of interest to not only practicing
photochemists and their students, but also to biological scientists, polymer
scientists, material scientists and nanoscientists who use photochemistry
and photophysics in their research and teaching. For
adopting professors, an art CD of figures from the book is also available. 'I strongly recommend this comprehensive and brilliant book to graduate and advanced graduate students.' Angewandte Chemie
