Publisher's Synopsis
Photocatalysis has developed rapidly over the last decade and this volume aims to provide the defining, current reference work for the field. A key objective is to collect the most useful, practical, and reliable methods for photocatalysis and to introduce them to a larger audience. The fundamental concepts of photophysics are introduced and laboratory setups are described, enabling newcomers to the field to apply these new tools in synthesis. Rather than comprehensive coverage, solutions for challenging transformations in synthesis are presented. A team of pioneers and leaders in the field has been assembled, who discuss both the practical and conceptual aspects of this rapidly growing field. Scope, limitations, reaction mechanism, and key experimental procedures are included.
