In this paper, we introduce the electronic states and electronic properties of molecular solid especially charge transfer salts and radical salts in the aspect of photo-induced phase transition and related phenomena. The characteristic features of molecular solid, which deeply related to photo-induced phase transition, are as following:(1) low-dimensional electronic states originated from anisotropic interaction,(2) strong electronic correlation induced by low carrier concentration,(3) lattice softness which causes competition of electronic phases with pressure and thermal contraction,(4) internal-freedom, namely, molecular motions. We propose strategies for exploring possible candidates for forthcoming materials with photo-induced phase transition.
