È stato pubblicato presso l'editore Springer il libro "Photochemistry: A Modern Theoretical Perspective", di Maurizio Persico e Giovanni Granucci. Il libro è al livello di studenti magistrali o dottorandi e descrive modelli teorici per i più importanti fenomeni fotochimici e fotofisici, concentrandosi sugli aspetti dinamici. In buona parte deriva dagli appunti degli insegnamenti di fotochimica tenuti dagli autori nei corsi di Laurea e Laurea Magistrale in Chimica del nostro Dipartimento. From Springer Web Site: "This book offers an introduction to photochemistry for students with a minimal background in physical chemistry and molecular quantum mechanics. The focus is from a theoretical perspective and highlights excited state dynamics. The authors, experienced lecturers, describe the main concepts in photochemical and photophysical processes that are used as a basis to interpret classical steady-state experimental results (essentially product branching ratios and quantum yields) and the most advanced time-resolved techniques. A significant portion of the content is devoted to the computational techniques present in quantum chemistry and molecular dynamics.With its short summaries, questions and exercises, this book is aimed at graduate students, while its theoretical focus differentiates it from most introductory textbooks on photochemistry".
