Dynamic NMR spectroscopy in studies of the kinetics of photoinduced chemical exchange in solutions

Abstract

Modern NMR based methods of studying the kinetics and mechanisms of reversible photo chemical reactions in solutions are surveyed. Detailed consideration of peculiar features of the experimental techniques based on NMR lineshape analysis and double resonance NMR and used for the determination of the effective rate constants for and quantum yields of photo induced chemical exchange processes is presented.
