Full Description
This issue of Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences is dedicated to Prof. Angelo Albini on the occasion of his 75th birthday. It includes original articles and reviews from colleagues, former students, but especially friends, from the (photo)chemical community. It is a pleasure to dedicate this issue to Angelo because of the great contributions he gave to the study of light-driven reactions and to the photogeneration of reactive intermediates to be used in synthesis and to the understanding of mechanisms involved in photoinduced processes. The beginning of his career has been devoted to the photochemistry of heterocycles (e.g. phenazines), then his innate curiosity and enthusiasm in facing new challenges pushed himself towards the study of different topics, including photoinduced electron (and hydrogen-atom) transfer, nitrenes and singlet oxygen chemistry, the photodegradation of drugs and the photogeneration of triplet phenyl cations. This issue is made by more than 35 papers virtually covering all photochemical topics, including photosensitization, photoinduced electron transfer, photocatalysis, photobiology, photodynamics, chemiluminescence, light-driven bond cleavage, photocycloaddition, photocaged molecules, helical compounds and reactive intermediates in environments with restricted diffusion (e.g. micelles, organic capsules). As an active part of the photochemistry community, we are indebted to the huge work Angelo developed during his career and we thank all the contributors for being part of this exciting project. Finally, we would like to thank Angelo, a special friend and a mentor for us, remembering that his scientific heritage is still alive in the PhotoGreen Lab at the University of Pavia.
Grazie, Angelo!
