Phohemistry (a term that broadly speaking includes photophysics) is a branch of modern science that deals with the interaction of light with matter and lies at the crossroadsof chemistry, physics, and biology. However, before being a branch of modern science, phohemistry was (and still is today), an extremely important natural phenomenon. When God said: “Let there be light”, phohemistry began to operate, helping God to create the world as we now know it. It is likely that phohemistry was the spark for the origin of life on Earth and played a fundamental role in the evolution of life. Through the photosynthetic process that takes place in green plants, phohemistry is responsible for the maintenance of all living organisms. In the geological past phohemistry caused the accumulation of the deposits of coal, oil, and naturalgasthat wenowuseasfuels.Phohemistryisinvolved inthecontrol of ozone in the stratosphere and in a great number ofenvironmentalprocesses thacurin the atmosphere, in these a, and on the soil. Phohemistry is the essence of the process of vision and causes a variety of behavioral responses in living organisms. Phohemistry as a science is quite young; we only need to go back less than one century to find its early pioneer [1]. The concept of coordination compounds is also relatively young; it was established in 1892, when Alfred Werner conceived his theory of metal complexes [2]. Since then, the terms coordination compound and metal complex have been used as synonyms, even if in the last 30 years, coordination chemistry has extended its scope to the binding ofall kinds of substrates [3, 4].
