The Photophysics and Photochemistry Group is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical science community, in line with the RSC's strategy and charter. Our aim is to promote photophysics and photochemistry and to foster an interest in the subject in industry, academia and the public.
Benefits of membership
- Keep up to date with national and international developments in photophysics and photochemistry and its related fields
- Annual newsletter
- Periodic e-alerts promoting upcoming events in photophysics and photochemistry
- Bi-ennial photochemistry meeting in the UK/Ireland which gives early career researchers the opportunity to present their work alongside internationally renowned speakers
- Student bursaries to aid attendance at meetings
Our scope
The traditional fields of photophysics and photochemistry are now the basis for diverse modern-day applications in areas such as solar energy conversion, electronics, sensors, nanotechnology, biology and medicine. The scope of the group’s interests reflects this diversity and includes:
- Fundamental photochemistry and photophysics of molecular and extended materials (e.g. photoluminescence, charge and energy transfer, photoreactions, photoswitching, photochromics)
- Photocatalysis, solar fuels and solar cells
- Photochemistry for medicine and biology (optical sensing, imaging, photodiagnostics and therapy, DNA, fluorescent proteins, photosynthesis)
- Spectroscopic techniques (ultrafast spectroscopy, pump probe and flash photolysis, fluorescence lifetime imaging, single molecule spectroscopy, optical tweezers)
- Theoretical photochemistry
- Photochemistry for devices (light-emitting diodes, photolithography, sensors)
Get involved
We are always looking for new members who are keen to get involved. You can:
- help organise our activities
- connect with us on and (@RSC_Photochem)
- attend our events
To find out more contact our secretary.
