Photoinduced Processes in Conventional Solvents, RTILs and Proteins

The author is working as an Assistant Professor in National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management (NIFTEM), India since 2012. She has completed her doctoral work from School of Chemistry, University of Hyderabad in 2009. She did her postdoctoral research in Jadavpur University (India)and Stellenbosch University (South Africa)

The book includes studies on the Photoinduced Processes in Conventional Solvents, Room Temperature Ionic Liquids (RTILs) and Proteins. The book consists of seven chapters. Chapter 1 is the introduction part of the whole book. Chapter 2 includes the detail description of materials, methods and instrumentation for carrying out the work. Chapter 3 to 6 are working chapters, where chapter 3 and chapter 6 provides a detailed study of the nonradiative processes in some structurally flexible Electron Donor Acceptor systems in conventional solvents and protein media. Chapter 4 describes Photoinduced Electron Transfer with molecular systems having fluorophore-spacer-receptor architecture. The effect of the Room Temperature Ionic Liquids (RTILs) on the mechanism and kinetics of Excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT)reaction constitutes the 5th chapter. Chapter 7 summarizes the whole work in the book and also outlines the scope of future work.
