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:
