However, before being a branch of modern science, photochemistry was (and still is today), an extremely important natural phenomenon.

Through the photosynthetic process that takes place in green plants, photochemistry is responsible for the maintenance of all living organisms.

Photochemistry as a science is quite young; we only need to go back less than one century to ?nd its early pioneer [1]. The concept of coordination compounds is also relatively young; it was established in 1892, when Alfred Werner conceived his theory of metal complexes [2]. Since then, the terms coordination compound and metal complex have been used as synonyms, even if in the last 30 years, coordination chemistry has extended its scope to the binding ofall kinds of substrates [3, 4]. Notes Presents critical reviews of the present position and future trends in modern chemical research Short and concise reports on chemistry, each written by the world renowned experts Still valid and useful after 5 or 10 years More information and the electronic version of the whole content available at: springerlink.com Table of Contents Photochemistry and Photophysics of Coordination Compounds: Overview and General Concepts.- Photochemistry and Photophysics of Coordination Compounds: Chromium.- Photochemistry and Photophysics of Coordination Compounds: Copper.- Photochemistry and Photophysics of Coordination Compounds: Ruthenium.- Photochemistry and Photophysics of Coordination Compounds: Rhodium. Review From the reviews:"Photochemistry and Photo physics of Coordination Compounds consists of chapters on individual elements … . The authors have taken especially good care in presenting the questions to be addressed, the experiments undertaken to answer them, the results, and the subsequent questions raised, all with useful pictorial detail. … This volume is required reading for inorganic photochemists, and new entrants to the field will find themselves brought up to date surprisingly swiftly. It is a highly recommended addition to the collections of comprehensive science libraries." (Patrick E.
