A molecular triad assembly consisting of an electron donor, a bis(phenanthroline)copper(I) chromophore, and acceptor has been prepared. Under visible-light excitation, this undergoes efficient (ca. 50%) photoinduced, multistep formation diradical cation charge-separated state that lifetime >100 ns stores >1.0 eV energy. This system constitutes earth-abundant functional analogue related Ru(bpy)(3) systems.
Abstract A series of metal–organic chromophores containing Ru II or Ir III were studied for the luminometric detection nitroaromatic compounds, including trinitrotoluene (TNT). These complexes display long‐lived, intense photoluminescence in visible region and are demonstrated to serve as luminescent sensors nitroaromatics. The solution‐based behavior these photoluminescent molecules has been detail order identify mechanism responsible metal‐to‐ligand charge‐transfer (MLCT) excited state...
The near-visible-to-blue singlet fluorescence of anthracene sensitized by a ruthenium chromophore with long-lived triplet-excited state, [Ru(5-pyrenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)(3)](PF(6))(2), in acetonitrile was investigated. Low intensity non-coherent green light used to selectively excite the sensitizer presence micromolar concentrations generating anti-Stokes, latter, even incident power densities below 500 μW cm(-2). resultant data are consistent photon upconversion proceeding from...

One group of ligands used in transition metal complexes is synthesized by derivatizing 1,10‐phenanthroline. These are interest for study the field photovoltaic devices and solar fuels. Previous strategies obtaining 5,6‐diones substituted 1,10‐phenanthrolines do not work 2,9‐diphenyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline due to undesired products resulting from oxidation phenyl substituents. However, 2,9‐diphenyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline‐5,6‐dione can be obtained reasonable yield with BrO 3 − weak aqueous acid. The...
We report evidence of excited-state ion pair reorganisation in a cationic iridium (III) photoredox catalyst 1,4-dioxane. Microwave-frequency dielectric-loss measurements allow us to assign both ground and molecular dipoles polarizability volumes. These show significant changes ground-state dipole moment between [Ir[dF(CF_{3})ppy]_{2}(dtbpy)]PF_{6} (10.74 Debye) [Ir[dF(CF_{3})ppy]_{2}(dtbpy)]BAr^{F}_{4} (4.86 Debye). Photoexcitation each complex results population highly mixed ligand centered...
