For a long time, the properties of transition metal and rare earth compounds have fascinated chemists and physicists from a scientific point of view. Recently, also the enormous potential of these compounds as new materials has become evident. Applications in different fields are now established, such as new laser materials, IR to visible upconversion materials, systems involving photoredox processes for solar energy conversion, new photovoltaic devices, phosphorescent sensors, and in particular electroluminescent devices (OLEDs). 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.
