Providing critical analysis of the field, this book is essential reading for anyone wanting to keep up to date with the literature on photochemistry and its applications.
Reviewing photo-induced processes that have relevance to a wide number of academic and commercial disciplines, this volume reflects the current interests in chemistry, physics, biology and technology. Section one covers organic and computational aspects of photochemistry while Section two highlights topics like photomagnetism in organic dyes, in silico photochemistry and delayed fluorescence in photosynthetic systems. The final section covers the SPR lectures on photochemistry on photoredox catalysis in synthesis, perfluoroalkylation of aliphatic substrates via photoinduced radical processes and photocycloadditions of aromatic compounds with alkenes. The volume continues to provide essential reading for postgraduates, academics and industrialists working in the field of photochemistry, enabling them to keep on top of the literature.

Stefano Protti obtained the Masters 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.
