Since Pasteur in 1846, scientists have been aware that many drugs are photoreactive, but until recently research in this area had been somewhat limited. However, since the introduction of acutely sensitive analytical methods, the realisation of the need to identify the photochemical properties of a potential drug as early in its development as possible and the increased attention to the phototoxic effect of drugs, more details are becoming available. Drugs: Photochemistry and Photostability presents the basic elements of the science, and serves as an excellent introduction to this emerging field of photochemistry. Detailed experimental conditions for photostability studies are given, along with a discussion of the recently implemented ICH Guidelines for drug photostability. With contributions from international experts in the field and including a comprehensive literature review, this book provides all the up-to-date information needed by researchers in many fields, especially medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry.

Drawing on the wealth of photochemical research, this volume combines reviews on the latest advances in the field with specific topical highlights. With critical review chapters devoted to solar energy conversion, cryogenic matrices and polymers and highlights covering for example continuous flow photochemistry and photoactive cyclodextrin-based nanosystems, this volume captures the literature in an authoritative digest of the latest developments in this established field.Relevant to a wide range of academic and commercial disciplines and covering chemistry, physics, biology and technology, this series is essential reading for postgraduates, academics and industrialists working in the field of photochemistry.

Providing critical reviews of recent advances in photochemistry including organic and computational aspects, the latest volume in the Series reflects the current interests in this area. It also includes a series of highlights on molecular devices, global artificial photosynthesis, silicon nanoparticles, solar energy conversion, organic heterogeneous photocatalysis and photochemistry in surface-water environments. Volume 44 of the annual Specialist Periodical Reports: Photochemistry is essential reading for anyone wishing to keep up with the literature on photochemistry and its applications.

Drawing on the continued wealth of photochemical research, this volume combines reviews in the latest advances in the field with specific topical highlights. Starting with periodical reports of the literature from 2015-2016 on physical and inorganic aspects, light induced reactions in cryogenic matrices, triplet states on polymers and related materials, properties of transition-metal compounds and the exploitation of solar energy. Coverage continues with highlighted topics in the second part from photoredox systems for building C-C bonds from carbon dioxide, photochemistry in art, photoresponsive devices targeting nucleic acid structures, developments in photodynamic therapy devices and photocatalysis with donor-acceptor polymers. Providing critical analysis of the topics, this book is essential reading for anyone wanting to keep up to date with the literature on photochemistry and its applications.

Photochemistry reviews photo-induced processes that have relevance to the above wide-ranging academic and commercial desciplines, and interests in chemistry, physics, biology and technology. In order to provide easy access to this vast and varied literature, Photochemistry comprises sections sub-divided by chromophore and reaction type, and also a comprehensive section on polymer photochemistry. Throughout emphasis is placed on useful applications of photochemistry. Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage in major areas of chemical research and are compiled by teams of leading experts - a unique service for the active research chemist.

Reviewing photo-induced processes that have relevance to a wide-ranging number of academic and commericial disciplines and interests covering chemistry, physics, biology and technology, this series is essential reading for anyone wishing to keep abreast of the current literature. Now in its 41st volume, and with contributions from across the globe, this series continues to present an accessible digest of current opinion and research in all aspects of photochemistry.More than 100 years have passed since Ciamician first talked of solar energy conversion and photoresponsive materials and these topics are among those reviewed in this Specialist Periodical Report. Other chapters examine the potential for photo-click chemistry, the photophysics of transition-metal complexes and excited state dynamics in conjugated polymers.This specialist periodical report presents critical and comprehensive reviews of the last 12 months of the literature and is an essential resource for anyone working at the cutting edge of photochemistry.
