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.

The book discusses developing various types of photocatalytic semiconductors and their modification by metallization, sensitization, and doping to enhance photocatalytic activities. It describes the principles and mechanisms of photocatalysis and other possible applications of photocatalysis such as use as antifouling agents, controlling air pollution, self-cleaning of glasses and tiles, green composites, wastewater treatment, hydrogen generation, and inactivation of microorganisms. The book describes medical applications and summarizes efforts in the field of photosplitting of water as a newer energy source and photoreduction of carbon dioxide for providing synthetic fuels and also a step towards mimicking photosynthesis.
