Photochemistry: Volume 49 (Specialist Periodical Reports - Photochemistry) - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Stefano Protti obtained the Master's degree in 2003 (110/110 cum laude). In 2007, he completed his PhD in Pavia focusing on photochemical arylations via phenyl cations. Later he moved to LASIR Laboratory (Lille, France), where he investigated the photoreactivity and the photophysics of flavonoids. He came back to Pavia and started working in the field of (photo)green synthetic chemistry. After a postdoctoral stay at the iBitTec-S laboratory (CEA Saclay, France) carrying out studies on photocatalyzed oxidation reactions for energy storage, he moved again to Pavia. Since 2018 is Associate Professor at the University of Pavia, Italy. He is currently editor of the Specialist Periodical Reports in Photochemistry of the Royal Society of Chemistry, member of the Early Career Board of the ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering and of the International Advisory Board of the European Journal of Organic Chemistry. The research activity of Stefano Protti has been mainly focused on the development of new synthetic methods for the light driven formation of C-C and C-heteroatom bonds under metal free conditions.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Providing critical analysis of emerging and well-established topics, this book is essential reading for anyone wanting to keep up to date with the literature on photochemistry and its applications. Volume 49 combines reviews on the latest advances in photochemical research with specific highlights in the field. The first section includes periodical reports of the recent literature on physical and inorganic aspects, including reviews of the molecules employed as dyes in art, light induced reactions in cryogenic matrices, photobiological systems studied by time-resolved infrared spectroscopy and photophysics, and photochemistry of transition metal complexes. This selection is completed by reviews of the literature on solar photocatalysis for water decontamination and disinfection and for water splitting/hydrogen production. Coverage continues in the second part with highlighted topics, from the use of aromatic carbonyls as photocatalysts and photoinitiators in synthesis, photoinduced and photocatalysed decarboxylation reactions, development of dye-sensitized solar cells, design of luminescent water-soluble systems, and applications of plasmonic nanoparticles. This volume also includes a third section entitled 'SPR Lectures on Photochemistry', where leading scientists in photochemistry provide examples to introduce a photochemical topic to academic readers, offering precious assistance to students in this field.

Aus dem Klappentext

Providing critical analysis of topics, this book is essential reading for anyone wanting to keep up to date with the literature on photochemistry and its applications. This volume combines reviews on the latest advances in photochemical research with specific topical highlights in the field.

Starting with periodical reports of the recent literature on physical and inorganic aspects including reviews of the molecules of colour and art, light induced reactions in cryogenic matrices, photobiological systems studied by time-resolved infrared spectroscopy and photophysics and photochemistry of transition metal complexes. This first section is completed by a more expansive review of the literature from 2015-2020 on solar photocatalysis for water decontamination and disinfection. Coverage continues with highlighted topics, in the second part, from C-C and C-Heteroatom bonds photocatalyzed and photoinitiated by carbonyls, development of dye-sensitized solar cells, luminescent water soluble systems, photoinduced and photocatalyzed decarboxylation reactions and applications of plasmonic nanoparticles. This volume will again include a third section entitled SPR Lectures on Photochemistry , providing examples for academic readers to introduce a photochemistry topic and precious help for students in photochemistry. Also included is a prize winning PhD from the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
