Handbook of Photochemistry, Hardcover by Montalti, Marco (EDT); Credi, Alberto; Prodi, Luca; Gandolfi, M. Teresa, ISBN 0824723775, ISBN-13 9780824723774, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UKThis handbook for photochemists has been a major reference in the field since the 1973 edition, which pioneered presenting data on photochemical parameters in an accessible way. In this update of the 1993 edition, new introductory chapters offer an overview of the photophysics of organic molecules in solution and of transition metal complexes. The subsequent ten chapters discuss the photophysical properties of organic and inorganic molecules. Volume highlights include updated data tables on many new compounds, and a chapter on a corrective to the most frequently encountered problems in photoluminescence measurements. Miscellanea include information on spin-orbit interactions, physical constants and other key conversion factors. The authors are affiliated with the U. of Bologna, Italy.
