This book gives an extensive description of the state-of-the-art in
research on excited-state hydrogen bonding and hydrogen transfer in
recent years.
Initial chapters present both the experimental and theoretical
investigations on the excited-state hydrogen bonding structures and
dynamics of many organic and biological chromophores. Following
this, several chapters describe the influences of the excited-state
hydrogen bonding on various photophysical processes and
photochemical reactions, for example: hydrogen bonding effects on
fluorescence emission behaviors and photoisomerization; the role of
hydrogen bonding in photosynthetic water splitting; photoinduced
electron transfer and solvation dynamics in room temperature ionic
liquids; and hydrogen bonding barrier crossing dynamics at
bio-mimicking surfaces. Finally, the book examines experimental and
theoretical studies on the nature and control of excited-state
hydrogen transfer in various systems.
Hydrogen Bonding and Transfer in the Excited State is an
essential overview of this increasingly important field of study,
surveying the entire field over 2 volumes, 40 chapters and 1200
pages. It will find a place on the bookshelves of researchers in
photochemistry, photobiology, photophysics, physical chemistry and
chemical physics.
