Course description

This course aims to learn basic photochemistry and photobiology.

Expected Learning

Through this course, students will have deeper understanding of chemical and biological phenomena triggered by light absorption.

Course schedule

This course will be proceeded in the same order of contents of the textbook. As to the chapter of photosynthesis, vision, bioluminescence, photochemistry of nucleic acids and photochemistry in environment, students will learn more details than the content of the textbook. 1. What is photochemistry and photobiology? 2. Let us compare photochemical reactions with thermal reactions. 3. Electronic Excited States 4. Characteristic Feature of Photochemical Reactions 5. Photo-induced Electron Transfer 6. Sensitization 7. Excitation of Functional Groups and Type of Photochemical Reactions 8. Photochemistry of Nucleic Acids 9. Photosynthesis 10. Vision 11. Bioluminescence 12. Photochemical Formation and Transformation of Anthropogenic Compounds in the Atmosphere and Aquatic Environment

Prerequisites

It is to be desirable that students who take this course have sufficient backgrounds in the wide range of chemistry.
