CHEM 5140
Introduction to Photochemistry and Photoredox Catalysis
Course Description
The course will reinforce concepts of molecular orbital theory (orbital symmetry effects), explore concepts of energy transfer & electron transfer. Some other concepts to be discussed include excited state photophysics, photocatalyst classes, metallaphotoredox catalysis and photochemical mechanistic elucidation (Stern-Volmer, oxidative and reductive quenching, Transient Absorption Spectroscopy), Photoredox Set up and Current Trends in the Field.
