Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Contributions are invited for this Special Issue of Inorganics entitled “Photochemistry & Photophysics of Transition Metal Complexes”. The molecular manipulation of light remains one of the greatest challenges for the chemical sciences. For more than four decades, the optical properties and applications of transition metal element complexes has been a highly active area in inorganic chemistry. With impacts in areas from climate change mitigation to biomedical sciences, this remains a highly important theme that is at the forefront of the chemical sciences today. We therefore wish to celebrate the vibrancy and diversity of the work of the global inorganic photochemical and photophysical community in this Special Issue.
Contributions may cover any area of fundamental experimental or computational photochemistry, the photophysical properties of metal complexes, or the applications of photoactive metal complexes, including in solar catalysis, photovoltaics, light-emitting technologies, biological luminescence imaging and phototherapeutics.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Inorganics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
