Spin-flip luminescence

Winald Robert Kitzmann et al.

Summary: In this review, the difference between charge-transfer emission and metal-centered transitions in molecular photochemistry is addressed. The focus is on spin-flip emitters, particularly the strongly phosphorescent Cr-III complexes, which have unique properties and different design strategies compared to traditional charge-transfer phosphors. The prerequisites for efficient spin-flip emission are outlined, and the recent progress, challenges, and potential research opportunities in tuning the energies of emissive excited states for spin-flip emitters are discussed.

Iridium(III) Sensitisers and Energy Upconversion: The Influence of Ligand Structure upon TTA-UC Performance

Christopher E. Elgar et al.

Summary: Six substituted ligands based on 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)quinoline-4-carboxylate and 2-(naphthalen-2-yl)quinoline-4-carboxylate were synthesized and found to be effective cyclometallating ligands for Ir-III complexes. X-ray crystallographic studies showed a distorted octahedral geometry of the complexes, with differences in observed triplet lifetimes attributed to the ligand structure. Complexes based on 1-naphthyl derived ligands demonstrated viable photosensitizing properties with upconversion quantum efficiencies of 1.6-6.7%.

Diphenylanthracene Dimers for Triplet-Triplet Annihilation Photon Upconversion: Mechanistic Insights for Intramolecular Pathways and the Importance of Molecular Geometry

Axel Olesund et al.

Summary: Novel approaches to modify solar spectral output, particularly triplet-triplet annihilation driven photon upconversion (TTA-UC), have gained interest due to their ability to function under low-intensity, noncoherent light. Four diphenylanthracene (DPA) dimers were investigated to explore structure effects on upconversion efficiency, with the meta-coupled dimer 1,3-DPA(2) showing superior performance. The double-sensitization mechanism was identified as part of the intramolecular upconversion process, with potential significance under specific conditions.

A Near-Infrared-II Emissive Chromium(III) Complex

Narayan Sinha et al.

Summary: By combining pi-donating amido with pi-accepting pyridine coordination units in a tridentate chelate ligand, a strong nephelauxetic effect was achieved in a homoleptic Cr-III complex, shifting its luminescence to the NIR-II spectral range. This study focuses on increasing metal-ligand bond covalence to shift the ruby-like E-2 emission of Cr-III to 1067 nm at 77 K, taking a fundamentally different approach from previous ligand design strategies.

Photon Upconversion for Photovoltaics and Photocatalysis: A Critical Review

Bryce S. Richards et al.

Summary: Opportunities for enhancing solar energy harvesting using photon upconversion have potential, but face challenges in increasing intermediate state lifetime, energy transfer rate, and generation rate significantly. Methods include the use of cosensitizers, plasmonics, and photonic structures. Additionally, in photocatalysis, there is hope for organic upconversion to enhance the performance of visible-light-active photocatalysts.

Manganese(i) complexes with metal-to-ligand charge transfer luminescence and photoreactivity

Patrick Herr et al.

Summary: Metal complexes with d(6) valence electron configuration often exhibit luminescent metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited states, useful for various applications. Iron(ii) has been suggested as an Earth-abundant alternative, but no iron(ii) complex has been reported to show MLCT emission. In this study, manganese(I) complexes with isocyanide chelate ligands were found to exhibit MLCT luminescence in solution at room temperature, showing promising applications in energy and electron transfer reactions.

Spin Statistics for Triplet-Triplet Annihilation Upconversion: Exchange Coupling, Intermolecular Orientation, and Reverse Intersystem Crossing

David G. Bossanyi et al.

Summary: Triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) has the potential to significantly improve light harvesting capabilities, with the spin statistical factor eta being critical in determining the overall efficiency. Experimental studies using solid rubrene as a model system suggest that weakly exchange-coupled triplet-pair states are formed first during triplet annihilation. Probing high-level reverse intersystem crossing channels in new annihilator molecules may prove to be a promising strategy to exceed the spin statistical limit.
