Course description and aims
This course begins with teaching basic knowledge for studying photochemistry such as electromagnetic waves, basic laws of photochemistry, and experimental methods. The students study classification of excited states of molecules, typical photochemical reactions from each excited states, and their applications. Furthermore, this course covers excited states of metal complexes, organometallics, and semiconductors, and finally photochemical electron transfer as typical events.
Student learning outcomes
The most important aim of this course is to study properties and reactivity of excited states of organic molecules, metal complexes, organometallics, and semiconductors. The students should have a systematical understanding of why the photochemical reactions proceed based on electron distribution of the excited states of the molecules and materials. Application of the photochemical reactions and photophysical processes, which are characteristic of each excited state, should be also studied.
Keywords
photochemical reactions, photophysical processes, excited states

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
