The design of the potential energy landscape of electronically excited states in discrete metal complexes is of utmost importance for unveiling and exploiting the photophysics and photochemistry of this class of compounds. The Priority Programme aims at the development of rational design concepts for new functional photoactive metal complexes. At the core of the programme is the fundamental understanding of photoinduced metal-centred processes and the dynamics of electronically excited states of metal complexes, including:• development of molecular emitters and sensitizers based on abundant metals to replace rare and precious metal centres,• understanding and design of electronically excited states of metal complexes for potential applications in diagnostics, imaging, therapy, and molecule-based sensors,• development of conceptually new reactivity patterns of electronically excited metal complexes,• providing access to new substance classes based on highly reducing or oxidizing electronically excited metal complexes,• development of photoinduced multielectron and multiproton processes and• understanding of dynamic environmental effects on the excited state properties of metal complexes in soft matrices.The programme benefits from complementary new developments in the field of ultrafast spectroscopy (IR to X-ray energies) and from new theoretical developments.The programme comprises the following four subsections:• Novel Metal-based Luminophores,• Novel (Earth-abundant) Metal-based Photosensitizers,• Fundamental Aspects of Energy Transfer, Multielectron and Multiproton Processes in Metal-based Systems and• Photoinduced Bond Activation in Transition Metal Complexes.The project consortia comprise research activities covering at least two of the three following topics:• synthesis and ground-state characterisation of new photoactive metal complexes,• spectroscopic investigations of excited state properties, especially using time-resolved methods(fs – ms, IR – X-ray) and• theoretical investigations on excited state properties.The coordination project supports the integration, communication, and information exchange of scientists working in the program.The program PP 2102 will continue to use different tools to facilitate cooperation and training of PhD students: Progress report meetings with all teams in the PP and topical workshops with national and international experts for better integration in international networks.
