Notes:
Electronically excited states of organic molecules are formed in many chemical reactions. Such chemically produced excited states are (with one exception) identical to light produced excited states, and they undergo the molecular transformations expected of such states (“photochemistry without light”). The excited states can also be used in energy transfer experiments. This review covers the generation of chemically produced excited states, the chemical reactions they undergo, and the possible role of chemically produced excited states in biology.
