Photochemical and photocatalytic properties of transition metal compounds

This chapter reviews the major advances in the field of photochemistry and photocatalysis by transition metal compounds published in 2013–2014. Particular attention has been given to (i) photocatalysis in synthesis, and in the conversion of sunlight energy into chemical energy; (ii) photoreactivity; (iii) biomedical applications of photoactive transition metal complexes, e.g. as photo-CORMs and PDT agents.
