Lecture Thursday Oct 23 2014

We finish correlation diagrams and immediately apply them by looking at a number of exemplary photochemical reactions:

After the two more biological-related topics, back to the chemistry: photoreactions can we predict them? For this we need to make correlation diagrams.
We turn to Chapter 4.9 of Klan&Wirz

For a more thorough read turn to Chapter 6 of the Photochemistry 'bible'by N. Turro

Slides for Monday 13-10-2014

Today we kick off the nature's photochemical masterpiece: photosynthesis. Combining both energytransfer and electrontransfer processes. Before studying this, maybe first look at the links (youtube movies in the next post, and ch9.2 of Björns Photobiology

Here are the slides I am going to use:

Thursday 9 October

Today we finish the story of vision, by looking at color blindness (integrated into monday's slides here)
Also see the post below with interesting and cool links on color and vision


As we now started to see some first actual photochemistry it becomes apparent we need to know some more about reactive pathways in the excited state (prepare by reading ch. 2.3 of Klan and Wirz)

Monday Oct 6 Photochemistry of vision

Photochemistry of Vision
Now well aware about the theories behind vision and colour, let's go back to the photochemistry. How do photons 'trigger' signals in rods and cones.
