State Data

The nature of the lowest excited state of rhenium and copper complexes of dipyrido[3,2- a:2′ ,3′-c]phenazine (Dppz) has been determined using Resonance Raman, Time- Resolved Resonance Raman Spectroscopy and Spectroelectrochemistry. Comparison of spectroelectrochemical data and excited state data show that for the complexes studied no reduced ligand bands are observed in the excited state spectra thus the lowest excited states are all Ligand Centred in nature. The use of substituents at the 11 and/or 12 position of the ligand has no effect on the excited state ordering.

Absorbance Difference

Time-resolved resonance Raman (TR3) and absorbance difference studies of the excited states of Cu(TPP) (TPP=5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin) have been carried out with < 10 ps times resolution in THF and pyridine solvents. In THF the distinctive transient Raman bands in the ν2 and ν4 regions, previously observed with ns laser pulses, grow in the first 55 ps before decaying in 100's of ps. The ∆A spectra also show biphasic decay. This behaviour is associated with attack by solvent on the 4-coordinate excited state to form the longer lived species observed in TR3 experiments.In pyridine two component decay is also observed but it is the shorter-lived species which gives the transient Raman bands seen previously with ns laser excitation. This state is different from that seen in THF. At 5 ps delay ν4 is broader than in the ground state and, more importantly, there is a significant shift in the two pyridine bands at ca. 1000 cm-1. This implies a significant involvement of the pyridine-based orbitals in the excited state.
