This PhD thesis explored some aspects of the coordination chemistry of molecular complexes based on 3d transition metal ions (Fe, Cu, Mn and Ni) coordinated by multidentate aroyl-hydrazone ligands. The work of this thesis was particularly focused on the development of new ligands, their coordination chemistry and the photochemistry of ferric complexes. The central objective of this work was to elucidate the mechanism of the photo reduction process, in order to valorize an already accepted laboratory patent on the production and storage of solar energy. The complexes involved in the process have been fully characterized in solution and in the solid state. This phenomenon takes place in solution as in frozen solution. The kinetics of the photochemical process was followed by UV-Visible as by RPE. This photo reduction passes through a radical intermediate and the solvent plays the role of the electron donor. This process has been fully studied: the effect of the solvent, the effect of the modification in the coordination sphere of the complex, the effect of the modification of the periphery of the ligands and finally the effect of the light and different wavelengths. Other fields are also explored, such as molecular magnetism for different mono and dinuclear iron and manganese complexes or even homogeneous catalysis (oligomerization of ethylene) with complexes based on Ni(II).
