Perspective – life and death of a photon: an intuitive non-equilibrium thermodynamic distinction between photochemistry and thermochemistry

Photochem. Photobiol. Sci., 2020, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/D0PP00274G, PerspectiveBrian Chapman, Denis Loiselle Neither the thermodynamically determined probability isotherm nor its kinetically manifest rate isotherm can be applied to photo-absorptive reactions such that the participants, including photons, may be treated as if they were chemical reactants.
