This book emphasizes the mechanistic details of the di-\u03C0-methane rearrangement, the synthetic aspects of the oxa-di-\u03C0-methane reaction, the photochemistry of carbenium ions, photoinduced hydrogen atom abstraction, and photochemistry of nitrenes, carbenes, and excited triplet states. > Organic photochemistry is the science arising from the application of photochemicalmethods to organic chemistry and organic chemical methods to photochemistry. It is aninterdisciplinary frontier.Intense activity in organic photochemistry in the last decade has produced so vast anaccumulation of factual knowledge that chemists in general have viewed it with awe.Even those chemists engaged in the study of organic photochemistry will find the rate ofdevelopment in the field perplexing to a high degree. This series originated to fill theneed for a critical summary of this vigorously expanding field with the purpose ofdrawing together seemingly unrelated facts, summarizing progress, and clarifyis
