Focuses on complex naturally occurring and synthetic supramolecular arrays. The text describes applications of photochemistry in cystalline organic matrices; covers two-component crystals - crystalline molecular compounds, mixed crystals and simple mechanical mixtures - in solid and liquid phases; assesses photoinduced fragmentation of carbon-heteroatom bonds; and more.
"From reviews of Volume 1 in the Molecular and Supramolecular Photochemistry series. . . . . .may find utility in routine organic synthesis. . .may offer 'greener' alternatives to traditional synthetic routes. . . .will be of interest not only to photochemists but to all those with an interest in organic chemistry and synthetic methods.
