From the reviews: "This book is a collection of six well-illustrated, independent chapters devoted to relevant subtopics. ... Overall, this collection of reviews is best suited to specialists, because it delivers less on the fundamentals of luminescent transition metal complexes and more on the exciting developments on selected areas. ... In this respect, the volume clearly succeeds by providing up-to-date information on a range of important subtopics in a clear manner that may be expected to inspire new directions in photofunctional inorganic chemistry."
