Thursday: Vision and Reactive pathways

We finish the stroy of vision by going in a bit deeper into the photochemistry:

Also we look at typicl photochemical reactive pathways

Thursday 12/9/13

We finalize on spectroscopic techniques today:

Monday 9/9/13

We continue with spectroscopic techniques

A calculator for Förster energy transfer

http://www.calctool.org/CALC/chem/photochemistry/fret

or install this elegant calculator and database on your computer. Can also do Strickler Berg calculations

Prepare for Thursday

If you hadn't read the paragraphs on Energy transfer, you can finish that first.
We will also discuss Electron Transfer. which can be found in section 5.2 of Klán and Wirz
