Abstract
Electronic configuration, photophysical deactivation modes, lifetimes, and intrinsic chemical reactivity of electronic excited states of coordination compounds are briefly described. Competitions among the various deactivations are discussed. Redox properties of excited states and kinetics of their bimolecular electron-transfer processes are examined in relation with the use of coordination compounds as photosensitizers in photochemical systems for the storage of solar energy.
