Conformational dynamicity in a copper(ii) coordination complex

Paul J. J. Griffin et al.

Summary: The geometries of copper coordination complexes play a crucial role in their electron transfer capabilities, but the influence of dynamics on these processes is not fully understood. In this study, we synthesized and characterized [CuCl(dpa(SMe))](+/0), a complex that exhibits relative rigidity in its Cu-I state and structural dynamics upon oxidation to Cu-II. The temperature-dependent interconversion between trigonal bipyramidal and square pyramidal geometries was observed, and the coordination geometries involved were assigned based on solid and solution-state characterization data. The factors impacting these dynamics and their potential implications for electron transfer are discussed.

Bulky and Stable Copper(I)-Phenanthroline Complex: Impact of Steric Strain and Symmetry on the Excited-State Properties

Lea Gimeno et al.

Summary: This study explores the fine-tuning of steric strain to achieve a balance between high emission quantum yield and stability. The investigation involves designing and characterizing a non-symmetrical ligand and its corresponding copper(I) complex. The results demonstrate that despite the steric strain, the obtained complex is more stable and exhibits unique behavior in the excited state.

Toward Improved Charge Separation through Conformational Control in Copper Coordination Complexes

Paul J. Griffin et al.

Summary: This study presents a bioinspired approach for photodriven charge separation in solar energy conversion. By utilizing the differential coordination properties of Cu-I and Cu-II, a ligand-driven electron transfer from Cu-I to the ligand is achieved. The authors synthesized and characterized CuCl(dpaa((R))) ligands with twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) excited states. Various spectroscopic and electrochemical methods were used to establish the properties of Cu-I and Cu-II complexes, and the photophysical dynamics of Cu-I complexes were explored. The lifetime of the charge separation state is enhanced by a factor of 1000 compared to control complexes without TICT-active ligands.

Conformationally dynamic copper coordination complexes

Bronte J. Charette et al.

Summary: The interplay between oxidation state and coordination geometry is crucial for understanding the kinetic and thermodynamic properties of electron transfer events in copper coordination complexes. In this study, the authors investigated the conformational dynamics of Cu-I complexes with dipicolylaniline (dpa(R)) ligands bearing different substituents. The results show that an equilibrium exists between two conformers in solution at room temperature. The analysis of structural information from various techniques suggests that the observed redox events are attributed to the Cu-II/I couple in planar and tetrahedral conformations.

Simulation and Analysis of the Transient Absorption Spectrum of 4-(N,N-Dimethylamino)benzonitrile (DMABN) in Acetonitrile

Michal Andrzej Kochmaiv et al.

Summary: DMABN, a well-known model compound for dual fluorescence, was studied using nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations to resolve the interpretation of its transient absorption spectrum. The study successfully assigned spectral signals to specific excited-state structures by breaking down the calculated spectrum into contributions from twisted and nontwisted molecular geometries.
