Publisher's Synopsis
Summarizes the results of recent studies on charge transfer photochemistry of metal complexities. Each chapter discusses the photoredox properties of complexes of a series of metals which belong to the same column of the periodic table, including both transition and main group metals (for those that show photoactivity).;Foremostly, the book covers photoinduced processes in which the primary step is a charge transfer reaction of the excited metal complex. It is concerned primarily with descriptions and discussions of the photochemistry of complexes themselves, with less emphasis on theoretical discussions.;The book is aimed at professional photochemical researchers as well as students and chemists who are interested in organometallic and inorganic metal complexes and plan to become familiar with their charge transfer photochemistry.
