    Link to glow - iEDDA conjugation of a Ruthenium(II) tetrazine complex leading to dihydropyrazine and pyrazine complexes with improved 1O2 formation ability

    The synthesis and photophysical properties of the Ru-polypyridyl type complex [(tbbpy)2Ru(bptz)]2+ (Ru-bptz, tbbpy: 4,4’-di-tert-butyl-2,2’-bipyridine, bptz: 2,6-dipyrido-1,2,4,5-tetrazine), and the complexes [(tbbpy)2Ru(L)]2+ formed by inverse electron demand Diels Alder reaction (iEDDA) of Ru-bptz with with alkenes and alkynes, where L is 3,6-dipyrido-2,5-dihydropyridazine (bpdhpn) or 3,6-dipyrido-pyridazine (bppn) are described. A combination of steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy complemented by the computation of state-specific absorption properties by means of time-dependent density functional theory reveals that the intense visible absorption band stems from Ru → tbbpy and Ru → L metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) excitations. The studies show that lowest-lying L-centered MLCT states (3MLCTL) show comparably low emission quantum yields (3–9%) and lifetimes (90–150 ns). This correlates with the singlet oxygen generation ability, following the trend: Ru-bppn > Ru-bpdhpn > Ru-bptz.

    Structure of Diethyl-Phosphonic Acid Anchoring Group Affects the Charge-Separated State on an Iridium(III) Complex Functionalized NiO Surface
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2020) Wahyuono, Ruri Agung; Amthor, Sebastian; Müller, Carolin; Rau, Sven; Dietzek, Benjamin
    Cyclometalated Iridium(III) complexes, i. e. [Ir(C N)2(dppz)][PF6], bearing either two or four -CH2PO(OH)2 anchoring groups (IrP2dppz or IrP4dppz) are explored as photosensitizers for p-type dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC). The synthetic route is described and the iridium(III) complexes are characterized with respect to their electrochemical and photophysical properties. The modified anchoring ligand geometry exploited in this work not only alters the electronic nature of the complex (that is by destabilizing the LUMO energetically) but more importantly improves the grafting ability of the complex towards the NiO surface. The photoinduced long-lived charge separated state (CSS) at the NiO|IrPxdppz interface is of a different nature comparing the two complexes. For IrP2dppz and IrP4dppz the electron density of the CSS dominantly resides on the dppz and the C N ligand, respectively. The stability of the CSS can be correlated to the solar cell performance in NiO-based p-DSSCs, which yield conversion efficiencies which are among the highest in the class of iridium(III) complexes developed for p-DSSCs. © 2020 The Authors.
