Abstract
Photochemical studies on the use of chiral metal complexes in homogenous and heterogeneous systems are surveyed and commented on their significance. A main focus is laid on the utility of the ΔΛ isomerism of octahedral metal complexes as a chiral source. The reported works demonstrate that chiral metal complexes are effective as a molecular element in achieving varieties of functions such as chiral discrimination, chiral transfer, sensing and photoresponsive guests for biomolecules or liquid crystals.
