Photochemistry: 39 (Oxford Chemistry Primers)

by Carol E. Wayne (Author)

Synopsis

Photochemistry is the study of the interaction of light with matter. This fascinating subject is explained in a clear yet comprehensive manner. Aimed at an undergraduate audience, the text describes the 'new' chemistry that follows the absorption of light, and explains how light has this extraordinary influence on chemical behaviour. Examples of established principles are presented examining the way in which life and the other natural processes depend on photochemistry, and also how photochemistry can be used in a variety of applications.

an acceptable standard, and it will therefore be useful to students for consolidating the subject matter of a lecture course and providing a deeper understanding * Michael Oelgemoeller, Organisch-Chemisches institut der Universitat Koeln, Cologne, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 1997, 36, No. 11 *
An outstanding text in this series provides a highly authoritative, lucid, concise account of the subject and a more detailed presentation than is available in most undergraduate textbooks of physical chemistry. It covers both underlying fundamental aspects and applications especially in nature and in medicine. * Aslib Book Guide, vol.61, no.12, December 1996. *
