This chapter deals with studies on the photophysical properties of selected metal complexes and their multinuclear assemblies reported in literature in the period January 2013 to December 2014, The transition metal species considered here belong to families of complexes featuring largely studied optical properties. The complexes are from the following metal centres Cu(i), Ag(i), Au(i), Zn(ii), Cd(ii), Hg(ii), Re(i), Ru(ii), Os(ii), Ir(iii), Pt(ii) and Pd(ii) finally some example is given of lanthanide (Ln) complexes. 

The first part of this section focuses on the development of homometallic multinuclear assemblies, and although there are a significant number of these systems in the literature we have only focused on a small number of the most recent examples. 

Although the mononuclear Cu half-sandwich scorpionate complexes (see above) are commonly less active than the Fe ones, copper complexes can be more effective in multinuclear assemblies (including coordination polymers) and our approach for these species concerns their self-assembly synthesis by using a suitable combination of a metal source, a main chelating ligand, a spacer or linker, apart from a pH regulator. A wide discussion on the types of self-assembied multicopper complexes and their use for alkane functionlization is presented in Chapter 3, and only a very brief overall view is outlined here. 

The multinuclear assemblies described here were developed as models for understanding the interprosthetic group interaction between the molybdenum and heme centers in sulfite oxidase.
