ChemInform Abstract: From a Molecular to a Supramolecular Photochemistry

Following a current trend of chemical research, photochemical investigations are moving from molecular to supramolecular species. Some of the results obtained by the authors with supramolecular species containing metal complexes are briefly reviewed, with particular emphasis on (i) cage-type complexes, (ii) host-guest systems, (iii) metal catenates, and (iv) oligonuclear metal complexes.
