| Course Description: |
|
This course is primarily designed for postgraduate students majoring in organic chemistry, also suitable for postgraduate students majoring in environmental chemistry or analytical chemistry as a selected course. This course mainly aims to introduce to the basic theories of the generation, physical properties, and chemical reactivity of excited states of organic compounds for students. It is a foundation subject for the fields of organic photochemistry, photophysics, opto-functional materials, and photobiology. It is also helpful for researchers in fields of polymer chemistry, environmental chemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry. |

1) Excited state, including the generation of electronically excited states, their physical properties and intramolecular decay ways。
2) Radiative transition, including fluorescence, phosphorescence, delayed fluorescence, the concepts of excimer (exciplex), and the related laws and investigation methods.
3) Nonradiative transition, including the theories of nonradiative transition, the laws and the related investigation methods.
4) Potential energy surface, including starting from the concept of potential energy surface to understand the related photophysical and photochemical questions from the microscopic and dynamic viewpoints.
5) Energy transfer and electron transfer, including the laws, mechanism of energy transfer and electron transfer, and the way to apply energy transfer and electron transfer and related investigation methods.
6) Principle of conservation of molecular orbital symmetry. Using frontier molecular orbital theory, theories of energy level and state to elucidate the principle of conservation of molecular orbital symmetry and its application in pericyclic reactions.
