The intellectual and utilitarian opportunities that lie at the
frontiers of chemistry have been recently emphasized by the
Pimentel Report. Such report recommends that in the field of
chemical research priority should be given to "understanding
chemical reactivity" and proposes initiatives aimed at the
clarification of factors that control the rates of reaction and the
development of new synthetic pathways for chemical change. In the
broad field of chemical reactivity, a discipline that has grown
with an extraordinary rate is photochemistry. Since the knowledge
of the photochemical properties at the molecular level has made a
substantial progress in the last few years, there is currently a
trend to study more and more complex photochemical systems. In
particular, an emerging and rapidly expanding branch of
photochemistry is that concerning studies of assemblies of
molecular components properly combined so as to obtain
light-induced functions (supramolecular photochemistry). Although
much of the current work in supramolecular photochemistry is
fundamental in nature, it is clear that progress in this field will
be most rewarding for several applications concerning the
interaction of light with matter. In particular, it will allow us
to pursue research aimed at the photochemical conversion of solar
energy by means of artificial systems and to make progress towards
futuristic branches of science called "photonics" (photo-generated
electron migration processes on a molecular basis) and "chemionics"
(design of components, circuitry, and information treatment at the
molecular level).
