Photophysics of transition metal complexes (2019–2020)

This Chapter is focused on the major advances in the photophysics of transition metal complexes reported in the literature in 2019 and 2020. The metal species considered here belong to families of mono- and hetero-nuclear complexes containing d-block metal ions, spanning from earth abundant first row transition elements to coinage and platinum group metals. Particular attention has been devoted to systems with growing applications in optoelectronics, photocatalysis, solar energy conversion, bioimaging, photodynamic therapy and photoactivated chemotherapy
