Chemistry
Name: Advances and Prospects in Photochemical Reaction
Catalog Number: 413005Y Hours/Credits: 40/2
Prerequisite(s):
Basic knowledge of physical chemistry and organic chemistry
Course Description:
This course is designed for graduates majored in organic chemistry or physical chemistry. This course will introduce photo-induced electron and energy transfer, photosensitization mechanism, surface reaction kinetics, capture of reaction intermediates, photo-isomerization reaction, excited-state reaction intermediates and supramolecular photochemistry. The students would learn that the above content is one important part of modern photochemistry. The focus is the research on excited state of molecules and the novel concepts, theories and methods are based on vast experiment data.
Course Content:
Chapter 1 Methods for reaction mechanism study (Photophysics methods and photochemistry methods) Chapter 2 Excited state reaction kinetics and ultrafast process (ns, ps, and fs scale) Chapter 3 photo-induced electron transfer Chapter 4 Excited state energy transfer Chapter 5 Competition between Excited state energy transfer and electron transfer Chapter 6 Stepwise photo-cycloadditions and capture of reaction intermediates Chap.7 cis-trans isomerization reaction of different double bonds Chapter 8 Excited state reaction intermediates and chemistry of upper excited state chemistry Chapter 9 Supramolecular photochemistry Chapter 10 Photocatalysis
