Photochemistry is the study of the interaction of light with
matter. This Primer describes the chemistry that follows the
absorption of light, and explains the extraordinary influence of
visible or ultraviolet light on chemical behaviour. After the
absorption of light, a molecule may acquire completely different
properties from those of its parent. The authors explain the role
of light initiating this metamorphosis, the dependence of natural
processes such as photosynthesis on photochemistry, the emission of
radiation as fluorescence and phosphoresence, and current
applications of photochemistry, which include photography,
photopolymerization, photodegradable polymers, and the synthesis of
organic chemicals. This book is an essential introduction to the
intriguing field of photochemistry.
