Description
The Ciba Foundation is an international scientific and educational charity which exists to promote internationalco-operation in biological, medical and chemical research. It organizes about eight international multidisciplinary symposia each year on topics that seem ready for discussion by a small group of research workers. These are the proceedings of a symposium held at the Ciba Foundation in London during March 1989. The topic, photosensitizing compounds, was proposed by Professor Raymond Bonnett. The papers presented cover various aspects of these compounds, their behaviour and their uses.
