Opis

Photocatalysis and related processes occupy a strategic position for the future of Photochemistry. Indeed, applications in solar energy taming, pollution management or other environmental problems and information storage could become practical before the end of this century. Homogeneous Photocatalysis is the only book that provides the necessary fundamentals and explains how applications work at the molecular level. It includes contributions from well-known authors selected for their expertise in the field.

Blurb

Homogeneous Photocatalysis is the only book that provides the necessary fundamentals and explains how applications work at the molecular level. It includes contributions from well–known authors who have been selected for their expertise in the field. Essential for academic and professional researchers in organic and bio–organic chemistry, industrial organic synthesis and imaging science. The Wiley Series in Photoscience and Photoengineering fosters interaction between fundamental research and technical development. This series consists of carefully selected volumes, incorporating new and developing areas within Photoscience and Photoengineering. Photocatalysis and related processes occupy a strategic position for the future of Photochemistry. Indeed, applications in solar energy taming, pollution management or other environmental problems and information storage could become practical before the end of this century. Nature provides Chemists with a beautiful model to mimic the photosynthetic reaction center. Further, the concepts involved at the molecular and photophysical levels are highly illustrative of the recent progresses made in photochemistry.
