(EDT), ISBN 0824766067, ISBN-13 9780824766061, Brand New, Free shipping in the US In response to the development of new technologies based on advanced materials and the improved ability to probe complex photo-biological processes at a molecular level, this volume summarizes and evaluates recent research in six areas. Two chapters on geometric isomerization deal with the one-way cis-trans isomerization of aryl-substituted alkenes, and summarize recent mechanistic developments in the area of olefins. Another two chapters are devoted to the photobehavior of molecules in organized assemblies, providing a summary of the literature on solid-state photoreactions of two component crystals and a critical evaluation of the various probes and their photoproperties that can be used to understand the reaction cavities of assemblies. The remaining two chapters review asymmetric photoreactions in solution and photochemical cleavage reactions of benzyl-heteroatom sigma bonds. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
