Owning Department/School: Department of Chemistry
Credits: 3 [equivalent to 6 CATS credits]
Notional Study Hours: 60
Level: Honours (FHEQ level 6)
Period:
Semester 1
Assessment Summary: EX 100%
Assessment Detail:
  • Examination (EX 100%)
Supplementary Assessment:
Like-for-like reassessment (where allowed by programme regulations)
Requisites: Before taking this module you must take CH20151 OR take CH20152
Learning Outcomes: After studying this unit students should be able to:
* Account for the formation and decay of electronically excited states in molecules;
* Describe modern instrumental methods for photochemical investigation.


Content: Absorption and emission of light. Jablonskii scheme. Excited state kinetics and quenching. Experimental methods. Properties and reactions of excited states. Examples of photochemical processes including photosynthesis, photography, solar energy conversation and atmospheric photochemistry.

Skills: Problem solving (T, F, A)
Scientific writing (F, A), Independent working (F)
Group working (F)

Aims: This core unit will introduce the basic concepts needed to describe the synthesis and characterisation of a range of polymers in order to understand how their properties can be controlled. The basic principles of photochemistry taught in previous units will be reinforced and techniques for the study of and applications of photochemistry will be introduced.
