As spectroscopic, synthetic and biological tools become more and more sophisticated, photochemistry and photobiology are merging – making interdisciplinary research essential. This two-volume CRC handbook presents 67 topical reviews by leading experts, providing cutting-edge information on the applications of photochemical and photobiological principles, techniques and methodologies.
New and updated topics in this edition include: Industrial photochemistry; Photocatalyic water splitting; Photocatalysis; Photostability of drugs; Photochemistry in microreactors; Photochemical key-steps in organic synthesis; Photochirogenesis; Photolabile protecting groups; Solar photochemistry; Computational photochemistry and photobiology; Sustainable photochemistry; Artificial photosynthetic systems; Biology of UV-A radiation; UV radiation and vitamin D; Photodynamic drug delivery; Photoimmunology; Photodermatology; Endogenous antioxidant photoprotection and its enhancement in human skin; Phototoxicity of drugs; Photodynamic approaches to water disinfection; Spin-center shift reactions.
This high-quality and concise collection bridges traditional topics, current trends, and future directions to provide the most authoritative and complete resource available on the subject. The IUPAC glossary of photochemistry is included as a CD-ROM.
