A Photoreactive Iron(II) Complex Luminophore

Wolfgang Leis et al.

Summary: Controlling the order and lifetimes of electronically excited states is crucial for efficient light-to-potential energy conversion. This study presents a luminescent and photoreactive iron(II) complex, which is the first high-performance analogue of prototypical ruthenium sensitizers. The double cyclometalation of a phenylphenanthroline framework at iron(II) promotes the formation of a triplet metal-to-ligand charge transfer ((MLCT)-M-3) state as the lowest energy excited state. Near-infrared (NIR) luminescence exhibits a monoexponential decay with a lifetime of 2.4 ns in the solid state and 1 ns in the liquid phase. At 77 K, the lifetime extends to 14 ns, accompanied by a narrowing of the NIR emission band within the range of 1170-1230 nm. The Fe(II) chromophore, featuring a (MLCT)-M-3 excited-state redox potential of -2 V vs the ferrocene/ferrocenium couple, is demonstrated to be a sensitizer for light-driven synthesis through the radical cross-coupling of 4-chlorobromobenzene and benzene.

Kwok-Chung Law et al.

Summary: A series of cyclometalated Fe(II/III) and Ru(II/III) complexes with a tetradentate dianionic [O<^>N<^>C<^>N] ligand were synthesized and characterized. The properties of the ligand significantly affect the spin state, absorption, and emission of the complexes, as revealed by various experiments and theoretical calculations.

Photophysical Integrity of the Iron(III) Scorpionate Framework in Iron(III)-NHC Complexes with Long-Lived 2LMCT Excited States

Om Prakash et al.

Summary: Fe(III) complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands, which have long-lived luminescent charge-transfer excited states, can be used as photosensitizers for charge separation reactions. Three new hexa-NHC complexes were synthesized and characterized, showing favorable properties in their excited states even with modifications in the ligand framework, demonstrating the robustness of the scorpionate motif.

Reduction of Electron Repulsion in Highly Covalent Fe-Amido Complexes Counteracts the Impact of a Weak Ligand Field on Excited-State Ordering

Christopher B. Larsen et al.

Summary: Accessing panchromatic absorption and long-lived charge-transfer (CT) excited states is crucial for developing abundant-metal molecular photosensitizers. This study presents an aerobically stable Fe(II) complex with panchromatic absorption and a 3 ns excited-state lifetime, demonstrating the importance of metal-ligand covalency in elongating excited state lifetimes. The findings highlight a novel design principle for extending excited state lifetimes in abundant metal photosensitizers.

Luminescent First-Row Transition Metal Complexes

Christina Wegeberg et al.

Summary: Recent developments in the field of inorganic photophysics and photochemistry indicate a shift towards cheaper and more abundant metals, away from traditional precious and rare elements. Conceptual breakthroughs have expanded the range of elements, particularly those in different oxidation states, that can be used for emissive complexes. New design strategies have led to the discovery of fundamentally new types of 3d-metal-based luminophores and photosensitizers operating in solution at room temperature.
