title: Pump-probe spectroscopy and circular dichroism of nanocrystalline benzophenone--towards absolute kinetic measurements in solid state photochemical reactions.
abstract: Nanocrystals suspended in water can be used to record steady state and pump-probe absorption spectra, which should be useful for the study of excited states and reactive intermediates in the solid state.
