Photochemical and photophysical investigations of weakly-bound complexes are
necessary to understand how the weak intermolecular interaction of partners acts
on excitation energy transfer processes. Despite the weak binding of partner
molecules in the vdW complex, there are several examples in literature in which
vdW complex demonstrates new chemical channels closed in the isolated molecule.
Chemiluminescence (Chap. 7). At the beginning of the chapter, the definitions of
various types of chemiluminescence reactions and their rate constants are introduced. The basic patterns of the recombination accompanied by radiation are
examined in detail in this chapter.
