Preface Foralongtime,thepropertiesoftransitionmetalandrareearthcompounds have fascinated chemists and physicists from a scientific point of view. Re- cently, also the enormous potential of these compounds as new materials has become evident. Applications in different fields are now established, such as new laser materials, IR to visible upconversion materials, systems involving photoredox processes for solar energy conversion, new photo- voltaic devices, phosphorescent sensors, and in particular electrolumines- centdevices(OLEDs).Theapplicationsmentionedaredirectly relatedtothe properties of the electronic ground state and the lower-lying excited states. Metal complexes with organic ligands or organometallic compounds exhibit outstanding featuresascomparedtopurelyorganicmolecules.For instance, metal compounds can often be prepared and applied in different oxidation states. Furthermore, various types of low-lying electronic excitations can be induced by a suitable choice of the metal center and/or the ligands, such as metal-centered (MC, e.g. d-d* or f-f* transitions), ligand-centered (LC, e.g. p-p*), metal-to-ligand-charge transfer (MLCT, e.g. d-p*), intra-ligand- charge-transfer(ILCT)transitions,etc.Inparticular,theorbitalsinvolvedin the resulting lowest excited states determine the photophysical and photo- chemical properties and thus the specific use of the compound. It is also high interesting that the lowest excited electronic states can be shifted over the large energy range from the U.V. to the I.R. by chemical variation of the ligands and/or the central metal ion. Moreover, these excited states have mostly spin-multiplicities different from those of the electronic ground states. Thus, in contrast to organic molecules, spin-orbit coupling induced by the metal center is of crucial importance, for example, for the splitting and the population and decay dynamics of these multiplets as well as for transition probabilities and emission quantum yields. In summary, transi- tion metal and rare earth compounds can be prepared with photophysical properties that areover awide range user-definable. Inview of the fascinat- ing potential of these compounds, it is of substantial interest to develop a deeper understanding of their photophysical properties.
