• With two new co-authors, V. Ramamurthy and J.C. Scaiano, Nick Turro has completely revised and updated the 1992-edition of his benchmark text, Modern Molecular Photochemistry. The text will present,

at a level understandable by seniors and first year graduate students, the first totally integrated theory of organic photochemistry, including the first visualization of the role of electron spin at all levels. In addition, chapters describing how experiment and theory can be applied to an understanding of the fundamental chromophors of organic che

mistry will be presented.

Eric V. Anslyn, right, received his PhD in Chemistry from the California Institute of Technology under the direction of Robert Grubbs. After completing post-doctoral work with Ronald Breslow at Columbia University, he joined the faculty at the University of Texas at Austin, where he became a Full Professor in 1999. He currently holds four patents and is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the Presidential Young Investigator, the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow, the Searle Scholar, the Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award, and the Jean Holloway Award for Excellence in Teaching. He is also the Associate Editor for the Journal of the American Chemical Society and serves on the editorial boards of Supramolecular Chemistry and the Journal of Supramolecular Chemistry. His primary research is in physical organic chemistry and bioorganic chemistry, with specific interests in catalysts for phosphoryl and glycosyl transfers, receptors for carbohydrates and enolates, single and multi-analyte sensors – the development of an electronic tongue, and synthesis of polymeric molecules that exhibit unique abiotic secondary structure.
