1. Basic principles
1.1 Introduction
Chemistry: forming or breaking of chemical bonds and charge transfer within or between
molecules.
Photochemical reactions are processes during which the energy required for their
activation (ΔU‡ ) or their development (ΔGr ) is provided by an electromagnetic radiation.
Activation energies of the order of ΔU‡ = 100 kJ·mol–1 and bond energies of the order
of ΔG = 200-400 kJ·mol–1 imply absorption of photons that should individually carry an
equivalent amount of energy.

Justification of Beer-Lambert law
Initial assumptions
I(x) σ
S - individual molecules totally block light
within a characteristic cross-section σ
- monochromatic light
dx - molecules do not cast any shadow on
each other (only conceivable if the
I(x+dx) concentration c is very low)
