Photochemistry is an important facet in the study of the origin of
life and prebiotic chemistry. Solar photons are the unique source
of the large amounts of energy likely required to initiate the
organisation of matter to produce biological life. The Miller-Urey
experiment simulated the conditions thought to be present on the
early earth and supported the hypothesis that under such conditions
complex organic compounds could be synthesised from simpler
inorganic precursors. The experiment inspired many others,
including the production of various alcohols, aldehydes and organic
acids through UV-photolysis of water vapour with carbon monoxide.
This book covers the photochemical aspects of the study of
prebiotic and origin of life chemistry an ideal companion for
postgraduates and researchers in prebiotic chemistry,
photochemistry, photobiology, chemical biology and astrochemistry.
