As one of the typical intermolecular interactions, hydrogen-bonding
plays a significant role in molecular structure and function. When the
hydrogen bond research system is connected with the photon, the
hydrogen-bonding effect turns to an excited-state one influencing
photochemistry, photobiology, and photophysics. Thus, the hydrogen bond
in an excited state is a key topic for understanding the excited-state
properties, especially for optoelectronic or luminescent materials.The
approaches presented in this book include quantum chemical calculation,
molecular dynamics simulation and ultrafast spectroscopy, which are
strong tools to investigate the hydrogen bond. Unlike other existing
titles, this book combines theoretical calculations and experiments to
explore the nature of excited-state hydrogen bonds. By using these
methods, more details and faster processes involved in excited-state
dynamics of hydrogen bond are explored.This highly interdisciplinary
book provides an overview of leading hydrogen bond research. It is
essential reading for faculties and students in researching
photochemistry, photobiology and photophysics, as well as novel
optoelectronic materials, fluorescence probes and photocatalysts. It
will also guide research beginners to getting a quick start within this
field.
