Description:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light
and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are
appropriate for the journal. This includes all
molecular chemical species as well as
biomolecular,
supramolecular,
polymer and other
macromolecular systems. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive
organic and inorganic materials.
The scope includes condensed and gas phase
photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation
chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton
transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of
photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes;
steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction,
luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent
sensors, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also
welcome.
JPPA publishes Regular Articles, Invited Feature Articles, and Short Notes. Regular Articles allow for a complete
overview of research results. Specialist researchers will be occasionally invited by
Editors to write Invited Feature Articles. Invited Feature Articles are intended to present an overview of the
author's recent work in relation to other published research in the field, and are not intended to be a comprehensive overview of a particular
sub-discipline. Short Notes are 2-page papers with relevant new results, data or technical reports that are important to the photochemistry
community.
Papers that are only minor extensions of previous work or contain mainly descriptions of the synthesis of molecules or
materials without a detailed photochemistry study will not be accepted for publication.
Prospective authors of review articles are
kindly advised to consult the
Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology C: Photochemistry Reviews and follow manuscript preparation
instructions as described at
