Photocalorimetry

Methods and Applications

  • Chapter
Energetics of Stable Molecules and Reactive Intermediates

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASIC,volume 535))

Abstract

Photocalorimetry is here considered as an extension of classical calorimetry for the study of light induced processes. The basic principles of this method are discussed. An overview of the main instruments and techniques used is presented. A few examples of applications to organic and inorganic reactions in solution are discussed.
