Annotation -

The aim of this course is to give the students an understanding of the basic principles of photophysical and photochemical processes and their selected applications. It is assumed that students have knowledge on structure and reactivity of molecules within the scope of related chapters in a standard physico-chemical textbook, e.g., P. W. Atkins: Physical Chemistry. If at least one student from abroad (ERASMUS) is participating in the course, lectures are being delivered in English in a standard course mode.
