In the decade since this book first appeared, research involving organic photochemistry has been prolific. In this updated and expanded edition the authors summarise those classes of reaction that best illustrate the types of photochemical behaviour commonly observed for simple organic molecules. The different products obtained from compounds subjected to thermal and photolytic activation are explained with the aid of appropriate diagrams and mechanistic schemes. Where necessary, these are backed up by simple energy level profiles. Thus, theory and empirical data are interwoven to provide a firm basis which, aided by the generous basic references at the end of each chapter, will equip senior undergraduate and graduate students of organic chemistry to start a more detailed study of the subject.
