Principles and Applications of Photochemistry by Richard P Wayne

This book attempts to provide an understanding of the relationships between reactivity and electronic and molecular structure. Photochemistry is concerned with the chemistry of excited species, and the subject is developed in the central chapters of this book to show the several paths by which an excited species may react or undergo radiactive or radiationless decay. One chapter explains some of the more important experimental techniques that are peculiar to photochemistry and also presents a very brief introduction to the study of the detailed dynamics of photochemical processes, including the utilization of energy in specific quantum states of the starting species and its disposal in the products. The book concludes with a survey of photochemical processes found in nature and of some commercial and laboratory applications.

Richard P. Wayne is Dr Lee's Reader in Chemistry at Christ Church, Oxford, and Professor of Chemistry at the University of Oxford.
