Certain other metals form light sensitive compounds.  All are far less sensitive
than the silver.  However, iron compounds are sensitive enough to be used in
various alternate printing processes such as platinum printing, cyanotypes,
kallotypes, etc.

I didn't actually.  This fact has sparked my interest to
read more about the physics behind photographic emulsions.

After I googled (yep a new English word if you didn't know! Past tense of what
used to be a noun, but is now a verb -
google) these terms, I came across the following interesting read about why
silver halide is so unique in it's properties for photography.
