For a long time, the properties of transition metal and rare earth
compounds have fascinated chemists and physicists from a scientific
view-point, and more recently also their enormous potential as new
materials has been explored. Applications in different fields have
already been realized or are under c- rent investigation, for
example, new laser materials, IR to visible upconversion systems,
compounds for photolithographic processes, systems involving pho-
redox processes for solar energy conversion, new photovoltaic
devices, chemical sensors, biosensors, electroluminescent devices
(OLEDs) for flat panel display systems, supramolecular devices with
wide-range definable photophysical properties, materials for energy
harvesting, optical information and storage systems, etc. Metal
complexes are also highly important in biology and me- cine. Most
of the applications mentioned are directly related to the
properties of the electronic ground state and the lower-lying
excited states. Metal complexes with organic ligands or
organometallic compounds exhibit outstanding features as compared
to purely organic molecules. 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 ligands, for example, such as
metal-centered transitions (MC, e. g. d-d* tran- tion),
ligand-centered (LC, e. g. n-n*), metal-to-ligand-charge transfer
(MLCT, e. g. d-7r*), intra-ligand-charge-transfer (ILCT)
transitions, etc. In particular, the orbitals involved in the
resulting lowest excited states determine the photoph- ical and
photochemical properties and thus the specific use of the compoun
