Summary
Modern Molecular Photochemistry of Organic Molecules is a comprehensive revision of Turro’s classic text, Modern Molecular Photochemistry, which has been the standard of the field for three decades. For a crystal-clear introduction to organic photochemistry in pictorial terms, this book comprises all of the same introductory chapters that make up Principles of Molecular Photochemistry, but then goes on to provide additional chapters that cover the methods for determining the mechanisms of organic photoreactions, and describe comprehensively the photochemistry of the basic functional groups of organic chemistry. The text also includes special topic chapters on supramolecule organic photochemistry, the first of its kind, and the role of triplet and singlet molecular oxygen in organic photochemistry.This text will be of interest to not only practicing photochemists and their students, but also to biological scientists, polymer scientists, material scientists and nanoscientists who use photochemistry and photophysics in their research and teaching. For adopting professors, an art CD of figures from the book is also available.

Reviews
“I strongly recommend this comprehensive and brilliant book to graduate and advanced undergraduate students.”
-Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.
“The book could be used as an undergraduate text as well as an encyclopaedic reference work covering the breadth of photochemistry….A must for newcomers to the field and as a reference for established practitioners.”
-The Times Higher
“This book provides a solid theoretical background that integrates well with the experimental examples and practical applications…The knowledgeable organic photochemist will find much to learn from MMPOM, as will practitioners in the fields of chemical biology, polymer chemistry, materials science, and nanoscience who use organic photochemsitry.”
-Journal of the American Chemical Society
“This is an excellent introductory work for practicing photochemists or those with a particular need to understand how theoretical chemistry and physics can be applied to photochemical synthesis of complex organic molecular structures…Summing up: Highly recommended.”
-Choice, Current Reviews for Academic Libraries
“Long the bible of organic photochemistry and available in a new 2010 edition…its clarity will serve you well.”
-Chemical Education Today
“This text shows the student how the apparent complexity of organic photochemistry can be reduced to a set of simple paradigms that can be applied to all organic functional groups. The critical concepts of electronic and spin interactions are presented in pictorial terms that can be readily understood by students at the undergraduate and graduate levels.”
-Andrei Kutateladze, University of Denver
