Abstrakt: This review provides an overview of research since the year 2000 relating to photochemical and photophysical processes involving complexes of osmium. The review is broken into four focus subjects. The photophysical investigations of Os(II) imine complexes and other classical transition metal complexes is presented, including a brief discussion of theoretical approaches to understanding electronic structure. An overview of light induced energy and electron transfer reactions involving Os complexes is also covered. Photoreactions of organometallic Os complexes are discussed, focusing on mechanistic aspects of metal-metal cleavage in diosmium and triosmium carbonyl complexes. Finally, reports of applications of Os complexes to sensors, dye sensitized solar cells, electroluminescent devices, and biological systems are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
