The design, synthesis, and characterization of luminescent metal complexes is a topic of widespread
interest that finds applications in many different areas of chemical research from supramolecular
to solid-state chemistry. Such complexes have been employed, for instance, in: (i) energy conversion
systems, as dye-sensitized solar cells and electroluminescent devices (OLEDs); (ii) catalysis; (iii)
probes for drug or cellular systems; (iv) temperature and pressure sensors. The rational design of
ligands is a crucial step toward the synthesis of photo- and redox-active building blocks that can
be used as components of more complex multifunctional systems. Much of our effort focuses on the
study of electronic excited states of transition
metal complexes, especially late transition metal complexes.
