The handbook comprehensively covers the field of inorganic photochemistry from the fundamentals to the main applications.
The first section of the book describes the historical development of inorganic photochemistry, along with the fundamentals related to this multidisciplinary scientific field. The main experimental techniques employed in state-of-art studies are described in detail in the second section followed by a third section including theoretical investigations in the field. In the next three sections, the photophysical and photochemical properties of coordination compounds, supramolecular systems and inorganic semiconductors are summarized by experts on these materials. Finally, the application of photoactive inorganic compounds in key sectors of our society is highlighted. The sections cover applications in bioimaging and sensing, drug delivery and cancer therapy, solar energy conversion to electricity and fuels, organic synthesis, environmental remediation and optoelectronics among others.
The chapters provide a concise overview of the main achievements in the recent years and highlight the challenges for future research. This handbook offers a unique compilation for practitioners of inorganic photochemistry in both industry and academia.

Prof. Antonio Otavio T. Patrocinio
Antonio Otavio T. Patrocinio received his BS degree from the Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Brazil (2001) and his PhD from Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil (2009) with a sandwich period at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2008). He spent 1 year as a postdoctoral fellow at Universidade de Sao Paulo (2010), and in 2011, he moved to the Institute of Chemistry of Universidade Federal de Uberlandia, Brazil, as Assistant Professor. In 2012, he was honored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with the Green Talents Award for his research contributions in sustainable growth and renewable energy. Between 2016 and 2018, he visited the Institut für Technische Chemie of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universität Hannover as an Al
