Abstract
The cover picture shows a representation of the mixed theoretical and experimental method employed by inorganic chemists in the study of structural and photophysical properties of luminescent molecules. The combination of time-dependent density functional theory and spectroscopy is crucial for determining the nature of excited states in metal complexes and thus their absorption and emission features. New dual-emitting ReL(CO)3Cl complexes and their 1-(2-pyridyl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine ligands were successfully studied by using such a hybrid approach. Details are discussed in the Short Communication by R. Gobetto et al. on p. 3587 ff.
