The current investigation compares the photochemical upconversion sensitization properties of two long lifetime Cu(I) metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) chromophores to 3 distinct anthryl-based triplet acceptors. The sensitizers [Cu(dsbtmp)(2)](PF6) (1, dsbtmp = 2,9-di(sec-butyl)-3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) and [Cu(dsbp)(2)](PF6) (2, dsbp = 2,9-di(sec-butyl-1,10-phenanthroline) were selectively excited in the presence of anthracene, 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA), and 9,10-dimethylanthracene (DMA) in degassed dichloromethane solutions. In all instances, triplet energy transfer was observed from selective excitation of the Cu(I) MLCT chromophore to each respective anthryl species. The bimolecular triplet triplet energy transfer quenching rate constants were extracted from dynamic Stern-Volmer analyses in each case, yielding values below the diffusion limit in dichloromethane. However, the Stern-Volmer quenching constants (K-sv's) were sizable enough (up to similar to 2300 M-1 with 1 as a sensitizer) to support efficient photochemical upconversion. As such, visible to near-UV photochemical upconversion was observed in every instance, along with the anticipated quadratic-to-linear incident light power dependence when pumping at 488 nm. The latter verified that it is indeed sensitized triplet triplet annihilation responsible for the generation of the anthryl-based singlet fluorescence. Photochemical upconversion quantum efficiencies were evaluated using a relative actinometric method as both a function of incident light power density as well as anthryl acceptor/annihilator concentration. When 1 was used as the sensitizer, upconversion quantum yields as large as 9.2% and 17.8% were observed for DMA and DPA, respectively. Finally, the combination of 1 with DMA was shown to be quite robust, showing no obvious signs of decomposition during 12 h of continuous 488 nm photolysis.
