Martin Gouterman, Editor, University of Washington Peter M. Rentzepis, Editor, University of California at Irvine Karl D. Straub, Editor, John L. McClelland Veterans' Hospital Examines theoretical and experimental studies on excited states of porphyrins as presented by classical spectroscopy, photochemistry, very transient spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations of electronic energy levels and dynamics. Offers the newest work in the most active areas of research in porphyrin excited states. An invaluable reference for those interested in porphyrin chemistry and excited states dynamics in general.
