Abstract

Sunlight has recently been rediscovered as a sustainable energy and light source for photochemical reactions. This book chapter summarizes modern solar reactor types and provides examples of their adaptation in preparative solar syntheses. These examples clearly demonstrate that the solar manufacturing of fine chemicals is technically feasible and environmentally sustainable.
