Photochemistry and Photocatalysis by Polyoxometalates

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 98))

Abstract

Photochemistry is the realm of chemical reactions influenced by the absorption of light. In this Chapter we discuss how light initiates and propagates chemical reactions in which POMs are involved. We examine some fundamental aspects of photochemistry, and show how these are influenced by POMs.
