Photochemical switches, energy storage devices, or photochemical sensors are potential applications of luminescent gold complexes. The basis for this expectation is the spectacular discovery by Balch et al., who observed that a trinuclear gold complex (see picture) gave rise to an intense emission upon dissolution in an organic solvent after previous irradiation with near‐UV light ( Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 1997 , 36 , 1179).
