Photocatalyzed and photosensitized chemical processes have seen growing interest
recently and have become among the most active areas of chemical research, notably due …

Many coordination complexes and organometallic compounds with the 4d6 and 5d6
valence electron configurations have outstanding photophysical and photochemical …

Second-and third-row transition metal complexes are widely employed in photocatalysis,
whereas earth-abundant first-row transition metals have found only limited use because of …

Precious and rare elements have traditionally dominated inorganic photophysics and
photochemistry, but now we are witnessing a paradigm shift toward cheaper and more …

Luminescent complexes of heavy metals such as iridium, platinum, and ruthenium play an
important role in photocatalysis and energy conversion applications as well as organic light …

Photoredox catalysis typically relies on the use of single chromophores, whereas strategies,
in which two different light absorbers are combined, are rare. In photosystems I and II of …

Synthetic organic chemistry has seen major advances due to the merger of nickel and
photoredox catalysis. A growing number of Ni-photoredox reactions are proposed to involve …

Cu (I) complexes often show transitions of distinct metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT)
character. This can lead to small energy separations between the lowest singlet S 1 and …

Photoactive Cu (I) complexes are considered as a promising alternative to traditional noble-
metal complexes that are mainly based on Ru (II) and Ir (III). Therefore, in recent years …

Transition-metal complexes are used as photosensitizers, in light-emitting diodes, for
biosensing and in photocatalysis. A key feature in these applications is excitation from the …
