Photochemistry Volume 39 [Hardcover]

Reviewing photo-induced processes that have relevance to the wide-ranging academic and commercial disciplines, and interests in chemistry, physics, biology and technology, this series is essential reading. Each volume comprises sections concerned with photophysical processes in condensed phases, organic aspects which are sub-divided by chromophone type, polymer photochemistry, and photochemical aspects of solar energy conversion.Light induced reactions in cryogenic matrices; Excited state dynamics in p-conjugated polymers; Photophysics of transition metal complexes; Photochemical and photocatalytic properties of transition-metal compounds; Photochemical energy conversion; Fluorescence imaging on the nanoscale: bioimaging using near-field scanning optical microscopy; Photochromic nanoparticles; Strong photon?molecule coupling fields for chemical reactions; Photochemistry and cultural heritage.

A native of Milan, he completed his studies in Chemistry at Pavia in 1972. After postdoctoral work at the Max-Plank Institute for Radiation Chemistry in Muelheim, Germany (1973-74), he joined the Faculty at Pavia in 1975 as an assistant and then associate (since 1981) professor. He accepted a Chair of Organic Chemistry at the University of Torino in 1990 and then moved again to Pavia in 1993. He has been Visiting Professor at the Universities of Western Ontario (Canada, 1977-78) and Odense (Denmark, 1983). He is activelc2
