Photochemistry of Polypyridine and Porphyrin Complexes

by K. Kalyanasundaram

Polypyridyl and porphyrin complexes demonstrate an excitingly rich photochemistry. These systems have important applications in photocatalysis, photochemical conversion and storage of solar energy, and photosynthesis. The book covers the basic concepts of inorganic electronic spectroscopy and photochemistry and then discusses excited state production, relaxation, and photochemical reactions.

Covers two important series of complexes in comprehensive surveys
Written to serve researchers who need a rapid entry into the field
Presents concepts and techniques useful to advanced students
