Photochemistry of Polypyridine and Porphyrin Complexes

Polypyridyl and porphyrin complexes demonstrate an excitingly rich photochemistry. These systems have important applications in photocatalysis, photochemical conversion and storage of solar energy, and photosynthesis. The book covers the basic concepts of inorganic electronic spectroscopy and photochemistry and then discusses excited state production, relaxation, and photochemical reactions.
