protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to …

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

Precious metal complexes with the d 6 valence electron configuration often exhibit
luminescent metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited states, which form the basis for …

Many organometallic iridium (III) complexes have photoactive excited states with mixed
metal-to-ligand and intraligand charge transfer (MLCT/ILCT) character, which form the basis …

The expansion of d‐orbitals as a result of metal‐ligand bond covalence, the so‐called
nephelauxetic effect, is a well‐established concept of coordination chemistry, yet its …

Exploration of different chemical systems for photocatalytic CO2 reduction by using sunlight
en route to the achievement of artificial photosynthesis stems from global warming and the …

Designing multifunctional materials that mimic the light‐dark decoupling of natural
photosynthesis is a key challenge in the field of energy conversion. Herein, we introduce …

Electronic tuning of metal hydrides enables precise control over potentials, mechanisms,
selectivity, and rates of electrocatalytic reactions by regulating bond dissociation free …

A series of Mn (bpy-R)(CO) 3Br (bpy-R= 4, 4′-R-2, 2′-bipyridine) complexes with
systematic substituent variations (R= H,–Me,–Et, t Bu, and–Ph) are immobilized on …
