Note(s) : Photochemistry (a term that broadly speaking includes photophysics) is abranchofmodernsciencethatdealswiththeinteractionoflightwithmatter
and lies at the crossroadsof chemistry, physics, and biology. However, before being
a branch of modern science, photochemistry was (and still is today), an extremely
important natural phenomenon. When God said: "Let there be light", photochemistry
began to operate, helping God to create the world as wenowknowit.Itislikelythatphotochemistrywasthesparkfortheoriginof
life on Earth and played a fundamental role in the evolution of life. Through the
photosynthetic process that takes place in green plants, photochemistry is responsible
for the maintenance of all living organisms. In the geological past photochemistry

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 compound 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]
