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." (William B. Connick, JACS, Vol. 130 (12), 2008)
