• Includes specific photochemistry data organized by functional group reactivity for quick and easy access
• Contains over 170 chapters of cutting-edge research in photobiology and photochemistry
• Presents over 3000 pages of peer-reviewed contributions from 140 of the world's leading experts
• Offers an extensive reference section of contemporary research in photochemistry and photobiology

Reflecting the numerous advances made in this field since the first edition, the second edition of the CRC Handbook of Organic Photochemistry and Photobiology has been expanded into a four-volume set. Its coverage uniquely emphasizes the synthetic value of photochemistry and photobiology over conventional thermal methods. The book includes research from experts in organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, cancer research, photonics, and optobioelectronics. Preliminary sections introduce new terminology and contain tables of valuable physical data. Subsequent sections highlight the usefulness of particular reactions and include extensive references and brief experimental details.
