Since the publication of the second edition of this handbook in
1993, the field of photochemical sciences has continued to expand
across several disciplines including organic, inorganic, physical,
analytical, and biological chemistries, and, most recently,
nanosciences. Emphasizing the important role light-induced
processes play in all of these fields, the Handbook of
Photochemistry, Third Edition provides quick and convenient access
to chemical and physical data that are crucial to photochemical
investigations from the planning and experimentation phases to the
interpretation of results. The third edition of the Handbook of
Photochemistry offers detailed overviews of the photochemical
processes that occur in organic molecules and transition metal
complexes, written by leading experts around the world. The authors
maintain the highly regarded organization of data from previous
editions while updating and expanding its tables with data
pertaining to hundreds of new compounds. The book now contains
sections focusing on metal complexes and organometallic compounds,
offering photophysical and quenching data as well as reduction
potential values, a key factor in photochemical electron transfer
processes. It also features new information on light sources and
filters, chemical actinometry, solutions to common problems in
photoluminescence measurements, and lab-friendly techniques
pertaining to experimental UV/visible spectroscopy and irradiation
methodologies. The Handbook of Photochemistry delivers an
exhaustive, up-to-date collection of photophysical and
electrochemical data on organic compounds and transition metal
complexes. It represents an invaluable compilation of complementary
data, background information, and references for students,
researchers, and spectroscopists performing a vast assortment of
photochemical experiments.

The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents
critical reviews from the journal Topics in Current Chemistry
organized in topical volumes. The scope of coverage is all areas of
chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines
such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each
thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in
academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where
new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger
scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically
surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context
of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the
last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to
illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended
to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large
quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating
on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist
reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also
offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.

The cutting-edge advances in this research field are nicely
pictured in the chapters of this volume. They come from world’s
leading laboratories engaged in the development of molecular
machines and are authored by some of the most respected scientists
in the field. This volume shows, on the one hand, the level of
ingenuity and technical capability reached in the construction of
artificial nanomachines roughly two decades after their inception.
On the other hand, it conveys the excitement about the enormous
opportunities as well as the challenges this research area
presents, as the interest of researchers is shifting from ensemble
to single-molecule measurements and from homogeneous to
heterogeneous environments. Indeed, as Feynman said “when we have
some control of the arrangement of things on a molecular scale, we
will get an enormously greater range of possible properties that
substances can have.” Although the answer to the “when”
question is not easy to find, there is no doubt that artificial
molecular machines and motors will lead to a wide variety of
applications which we cannot even envisage today.The Nobel Prize in
Chemistry 2016 was awarded jointly to Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Sir J.
Fraser Stoddart and Bernard L. Feringa "for the design and
synthesis of molecular machines". Both Jean-Pierre Sauvage and
Bernard L. Feringa contributed to this volume. The goal of each

volumes are invited by the volume editors. Readership: research
chemists at universities or in industry, graduate students.
