Reviewing photo-induced processes that have relevance to a wide-ranging number of academic and commercial disciplines and interests covering chemistry, physics, biology and technology, this series is essential reading for anyone wishing to keep abreast of the current literature. Now in its 42nd volume, and with contributions from across the globe, this series continues to present an accessible digest of current opinion and research in all aspects of photochemistry.
Topics covered in this volume include the state of the art in computational photochemistry, advances in dye sensitized photopolymerization processes, photoclick chemistry, and continuous flow photochemical reactions.
This Specialist Periodical Report presents critical and comprehensive reviews of the last 12 months of the primary literature (drawing on 100's of citations) and is an essential resource for anyone working at the cutting edge of photochemistry and a gateway to newcomers in the field.
As a scientific discipline, photochemistry generates more than 1200 articles and reviews a year across a range of fields. Keeping up with the literature can be difficult, but Specialist Periodical Reports present an informed view of the latest thinking and research in the field.
The latest and 42nd volume in the series has a special emphasis on organic and computational aspects of photochemistry, drawn from the literature published in 2012 and 2013. Several chapters are devoted to comprehensive and critical reviews of various organic compounds and functional groups. One chapter is devoted to photoclick chemistry, another on continuous flow photochemical reactions. New methods for excited state energies and properties are also examined, as are new approaches to singlet oxygen photosensitisation in biological media and functions containing a heteroatom different from oxygen.
Photochemistry provides essential reading for anyone wishing to keep up to date with the literature or gain a broad appreciation of the field.
