This 2nd Meeting was open to recent developments in all research topics of photochemistry and photophysics. It had the aim of promoting contacts between people of different countries, also giving rise to new scientific collaborations. The meeting was a very great success with over 130 participants who came from 16 Coun- tries, not only from the Mediterranean Basin, but also from other sites in the world who have common cul- tural roots with Mediterranean people. The works pre- sented spanned over all aspects of photochemistry and photophysics. This broad and heterogeneous participa- tion demonstrates that interest in photochemical sci- ences is alive and well. The quality of the papers pre- sented was outstanding and the discussion fruitful. We hope that this series of Mediterranean Meetings will run for many years to come. Professor Sabry Abdel-Mottaleb, Editor of the Inter- national Journal of Photoenergy, has kindly offered to devote this special issue of the Journal to the Proceed- ings of the 2nd Mediterranean Meeting on Photochem- istry. Since the publication of the Proceedings was not planned in advance, nor announced during the Meet- ing, a limited number of participants had the possibil- ity to contribute to this issue. However, the papers here published are representative of the number of coun- tries participating in the Meeting (France, Turkey, Bel- gium, Italy, Spain, Greece, Russia, Portugal and Lithua- nia) and the variety of topics addressed during the Meeting: photochemistry in homogeneous and hetero- geneous systems, nanosized systems, photoactive self- assembled systems, photochromism studied from both basic and applied points of view, fluorescent probes, photochemistry of xenobiotics, photochemistry of dyes used in arts. I want to thank professor Sabry Abdel-Mottaleb for his generous and kind proposal to devote this issue to the 2nd Mediterranean Meeting on Photochemistry. I wish also to express sincere thanks to the authors and reviewers for their collaboration. Gianna Favaro (President of the Italian Group of Photochemistry)

Introduction
In 1992, the first Meeting of photochemists of theMediterranean area was held in Acireale (Catania, Italy).After more than a decade, the 2nd Mediterranean Meet-ing on Photochemistry was held at Giardini Naxos(Messina, Italy) in 2003. It was promoted by the Ital-ian Group of Photochemistry (GIF) with the supportof other Photochemistry Groups of this area (Egypt,France, Greece, Israel, Portugal, and Spain) and orga-nized by the Universities of Catania and Messina. This2nd Meeting was open to recent developments in allresearch topics of photochemistry and photophysics.It had the aim of promoting contacts between peopleof different countries, also giving rise to new scientificcollaborations. The meeting was a very great successwith over 130 participants who came from 16 Coun-tries, not only from the Mediterranean Basin, but alsofrom other sites in the world who have common cul-tural roots with Mediterranean people. The works pre-sented spanned over all aspects of photochemistry andphotophysics. This broad and heterogeneous participa-tion demonstrates that interest in photochemical sci-ences is alive and well. The quality of the papers pre-sented was outstanding and the discussion fruitful. Wehope that this series of Mediterranean Meetings will runfor many years to come.
Professor Sabry Abdel-Mottaleb, Editor of the Inter-national Journal of Photoenergy, has kindly offered to
devote this special issue of the Journal to the Proceed-ings of the 2nd Mediterranean Meeting on Photochem-istry. Since the publication of the Proceedings was notplanned in advance, nor announced during the Meet-ing, a limited number of participants had the possibil-ity to contribute to this issue. However, the papers herepublished are representative of the number of coun-tries participating in the Meeting (France, Turkey, Bel-gium, Italy, Spain, Greece, Russia, Portugal and Lithua-nia) and the variety of topics addressed during theMeeting: photochemistry in homogeneous and hetero-geneous systems, nanosized systems, photoactive self-assembled systems, photochromism studied from bothbasic and applied points of view, fluorescent probes,photochemistry of xenobiotics, photochemistry of dyesused in arts.
