Applied Photochemistry encompasses the major applications of the
chemical effects resulting from light absorption by atoms and
molecules in chemistry, physics, medicine and engineering, and
contains contributions from specialists in these key areas.
Particular emphasis is placed both on how photochemistry
contributes to these disciplines and on what the current
developments are. The book starts with a general description of the
interaction between light and matter, which provides the general
background to photochemistry for non-specialists. The following
chapters develop the general synthetic and mechanistic aspects of
photochemistry as applied to both organic and inorganic materials,
together with types of materials which are useful as light
absorbers, emitters, sensitisers, etc. for a wide variety of
applications. A detailed discussion is presented on the
photochemical processes occurring in the Earth's atmosphere,
including discussion of important current aspects such as ozone
depletion. Two important distinct, but interconnected, applications
of photochemistry are in photocatalytic treatment of wastes and in
solar energy conversion. Semiconductor photochemistry plays an
important role in these and is discussed with reference to both of
these areas. Free radicals and reactive oxygen species are of major
importance in many chemical, biological and medical applications of
photochemistry, and are discussed in depth. The following chapters
discuss the relevance of using light in medicine, both with various
types of phototherapy and in medical diagnostics. The development
of optical sensors and probes is closely related to diagnostics,
but is also relevant to many other applications, and is discussed
separately. Important aspects of applied photochemistry in
electronics and imaging, through processes such as
photolithography, are discussed and it is shown how this is
allowing the increasing miniaturisation of semiconductor devices
for a wide variety of electronics applications and the development
of nanometer scale devices. The final two chapters provide the
basic ideas necessary to set up a photochemical laboratory and to
characterise excited states. This book is aimed at those in
science, engineering and medicine who are interested in applying
photochemistry in a broad spectrum of areas. Each chapter has the
basic theories and methods for its particular applications and
directs the reader to the current, important literature in the
field, making Applied Photochemistry suitable for both the novice
and the experienced photochemist.
