Hydrogen Bonding and Transfer in the Excited State, 2 Volume Set

This book gives an extensive description of the state-of-the-art inresearch on excited-state hydrogen bonding and hydrogen transfer inrecent years.
Initial chapters present both the experimental and theoreticalinvestigations on the excited-state hydrogen bonding structures anddynamics of many organic and biological chromophores. Followingthis, several chapters describe the influences of the excited-statehydrogen bonding on various photophysical processes andphotochemical reactions, for example: hydrogen bonding effects onfluorescence emission behaviors and photoisomerization; the role ofhydrogen bonding in photosynthetic water splitting; photoinducedelectron transfer and solvation dynamics in room temperature ionicliquids; and hydrogen bonding barrier crossing dynamics atbio-mimicking surfaces. Finally, the book examines experimental andtheoretical studies on the nature and control of excited-statehydrogen transfer in various systems.
Hydrogen Bonding and Transfer in the Excited State is anessential overview of this increasingly important field of study,surveying the entire field over 2 volumes, 40 chapters and 1200pages. It will find a place on the bookshelves of researchers inphotochemistry, photobiology, photophysics, physical chemistry andchemical physics.
