Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photochemistry of Heterocycles is a comprehensive review of the topic, including photooxidation, photoreduction and photoaddition reactions as well as industrial aspects of heterocyclic photochemistry. Many materials used for the manufacturing of OLEDs and other electrooptical switches contain heterocycles, and the use of small molecules or polymers containing heterocyclic substances are being studied as new photovoltaic materials. This reference is ideal for synthetic organic chemists, specifically researchers working in organic photochemistry, as well as medicinal chemists and material scientists. Heterocyclic compounds are widely used in the modern world, and most of the drugs currently in use have heterocyclic nuclei among their constituents. These compounds are subject to a photochemical degradation processes which must be known and prevented. Presents an authoritative and comprehensive review of the photochemistry of heterocycles Covers the full spectrum of photochemical reactivity, including photoreduction and photoaddition reactions of heterocyclic compounds Includes industrial aspects of heterocyclic photochemistry and materials used to manufacture OLEDs and other electrooptical switches
