This comprehensive book provides a thorough introduction to photochemistry, catering to students with a foundational understanding of physical chemistry and molecular quantum mechanics. The focus is theoretical, emphasizing excited state dynamics. Authored by experienced lecturers, the book delves into the fundamental concepts of photochemical and photophysical processes, serving as a foundation for interpreting classical steady-state experimental results, such as product branching ratios and quantum yields. Additionally, it explores advanced time-resolved techniques. A substantial portion of the content is dedicated to computational methods in quantum chemistry and molecular dynamics, making it valuable for graduate students. With its concise summaries, questions, and exercises, this book distinguishes itself from most introductory textbooks on photochemistry, offering a deeper theoretical perspective.
