Objectives of the Course
Discussions will be made on the effect of UV and visible light on chemical substances, and on the mechanism of the photo chemical reaction . The mechanism of photosensitized reactions (energy transfer reactions ) will be investigated and some literature about it will be discussed. Problems about storage of solar energy and photosynthesis will be discussed.
