The marriage of molecular machines and coordination compounds has been fruitful since the early stages of the research on molecular machines. First only structural elements, but soon also functional components, metal complexes played a crucial part in the development of sophisticated systems, thanks to their excellent and versatile geometrical, photophysical and electrochemical properties. In this Chapter photoactive molecular machines will be divided in three main classes, depending on the role of the coordination compounds: structural elements, triggers of the photochemical processes, or photoactive structural components.

Abstract
The marriage of molecular machines and coordination compounds has been fruitful since the early stages of the research on molecular machines. First only structural elements, but soon also functional components, metal complexes played a crucial part in the development of sophisticated systems, thanks to their excellent and versatile geometrical, photophysical and electrochemical properties. In this Chapter photoactive molecular machines will be divided in three main classes, depending on the role of the coordination compounds: structural elements, triggers of the photochemical processes, or photoactive structural components.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
