Synopsis
Photochemistry and Photophysics of Coordination Compounds: Fundamentals and Applications provides a systematic overview of the photochemical and photophysical properties of coordination compounds with different metal cores. Beginning with a clear introduction to the fundamentals of both photochemistry and coordination chemistry, the book goes on to outline the photochemical and photophysical properties of a large range of coordination compounds, clustering metal cores together in chapters according to their period table group, ranging across Transition metals, Lanthanides and Actinides. In addition to outlining their properties, each chapter discusses the synthesis, current applications and future potential of coordination compounds in each group.
Drawing on the experience of a global team of experts, this book is an authoritative guide for all those interested in understanding and harnessing the photochemical properties and potential applications of coordination complexes for their own work.
- Introduces the fundamentals of both photochemistry and coordination compounds
- Supports learning through carefully structured content, with chapters uniquely arranged by period table group
- Bridges the knowledge gap between theory and practice by presenting application examples in each chapter
