New organometallic materials such as two-dimensional metallacycles and three-dimensional metallacages are important for the development of novel optical, electronic, and energy related applications. In this article, the ultrafast dynamics of two different platinum-containing metallacycles have been investigated by femtosecond fluorescence upconversion and transient absorption. These measurements were carried out in an effort to probe the charge transfer dynamics and the rate of intersystem crossing in metallacycles of different geometries and dimensions. The processes of ultrafast intersystem crossing and charge transfer vary between the two different classes of metallacyclic systems studied. For rectangular anthracene-containing metallacycles, the electronic coupling between adjacent ligands was relatively weak, whereas for the triangular phenanthrene-containing structures, there was a clear interaction between the conjugated ligand and the metal complex center. The transient lifetimes increased with increasing conjugation in that case. The results show that differences in the dimensionality and structure of metallacycles result in different optical properties, which may be utilized in the design of nonlinear optical materials and potential new, longer-lived excited state materials for further electronic applications.
