Solid state photochemistry and X-ray crystallography of carbonyl-containing compounds

This thesis reports the role of the crystalline environment in influencing the solid state photochemistry of carbonyl-containing compounds. Two types of photochemical reactions were studied: electrocyclization and hydrogen atom abstraction. The structure-reactivity relationships in systems underg...
