Photofunctions of metal complexes, supramolecules and organic-inorganic hybrid materials are at the crossroads for new science and technology. Key topics include not only the fundamental mechanisms of electron/energy transfers, but also applications in sustainability chemistry, optical devices (OLED & solar cells) and biology (luminescent probes & photodynamic therapy). Particularly, metal complexes provide various molecular geometries, complex electronic structures based on tunable ligand π-orbitals and d-/f-orbitals. Thus, such systems are very attractive templates for controlling photochemical and photophysical behavior. The purpose of this symposium is to bring together investigators representing cutting edge research into different photofunctions of metal complexes in order to harmonize and cross-fertilize on-going research in various fields. Our goal is for this symposium to serve as a platform for valuable information-exchanges and discussion that will help the attendees address and solve important problems relevant to modern society.

Oral sessions are December 15 (AM & PM) & 16 (AM) . Venue: Hilton Hawaiian Village.

Poster presentation will hold at Congress Center at December 17.
