Two copper(I) iodide tetramers, namely, [μ2-1,3-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)propane-κ2 P:P′]di-μ3-iodido-di-μ2-iodido-[1-(pyridin-3-yl)ethan-1-one-κN]tetracopper(I) dichloromethane disolvate, [Cu4I4(C6H7NO)2(C27H26P2)2]·2CH2Cl2 (Cu L 3 ), and [μ2-1,3-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)propane-κ2 P:P′]di-μ3-iodido-di-μ2-iodido-[1-(pyridin-4-yl)ethan-1-one-κN]tetracopper(I), [Cu4I4(C6H7NO)2(C27H26P2)2] (Cu L 4 ), have been synthesized from reactions of CuI, 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)propane (dppp) and 3- or 4-acetylpyridine (3/4-acepy). The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), powder XRD and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Both complexes possess a stair-step [Cu4I4] cluster structure with a crystallographic inversion centre located in the middle of a Cu2I2 ring (Z′ = 1 \over 2). The dppp ligands each adopt a bidentate coordination mode that bridges two CuI centres on one side of the [Cu4I4] cluster and the acepy ligands act as terminal ligands. The solid-state samples of similar complexes show highly efficiency thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) at room temperature. At ambient temperature, both Cu L 3 and Cu L 4 exhibit photoluminescence, with a maximum emission in the region 560–580 nm and with short emissive decay times, but only phosphorescence was observed at 77 K. The narrow gaps between the higher lying singlet state and the triplet state, ΔE(S 1 − T 1), also confirm the presence of TADF. Structure analysis and consideration of photoluminescence indicates that the position of the acetyl group on the heterocyclic ligand has an obvious influence on the structural arrangement, on intermolecular interactions and on the observed photophysical properties.

We have investigated the solvent-dependence of structural changes along with intersystem crossing of a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecule, 3,4,5-tri(9H-carbazole-9-yl)benzonitrile (o-3CzBN), in toluene, tetrahydrofuran, and acetonitrile solutions using time-resolved infrared (TR-IR) spectroscopy and DFT calculations. We found that the geometries of the S1 and T1 states are very similar in all solvents though the photophysical properties mostly depend on the solvent. In addition, the time-dependent DFT calculations based on these geometries suggested that the thermally activated delayed fluorescence process of o-3CzBN is governed more by the higher-lying excited states than by the structural changes in the excited states.<br>

This paper deals with a series of new unsymmetrically substituted mesoporphyrins: 5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-phenyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TPPOHO), 5-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-phenyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TPPOHM), 5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-phenyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TPPOHP), 5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-butyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TBPOHO), and their parent nonsubstituted compounds, respectively, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-phenyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TPP) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-butyl-21,23-H-porphyrin (TBP). Several photophysical studies were carried out to access the influence of the unsymmetrical substitution at the porphyrinic macrocycle on porthyrin's photophysical properties, especially porthyrin's efficiency as singlet oxygen sensitizers. The quantum yields of singlet oxygen generation were determined in benzene (ΦΔ(TPP) = 0.66 ± 0.05;ΦΔ(TPPOHO) = 0.69 ± 0.04;ΦΔ(TPPOHM) = 0.62 ± 0.04;ΦΔ(TPPOHP) = 0.73 ± 0.03;ΦΔ(TBP) = 0.76 ± 0.03;ΦΔ(TBPOHO) = 0.73 ± 0.02) using the 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21,23-H-porphine (ΦΔ(TPP) = 0.66) and Phenazine (ΦΔ(Phz) = 0.83) as reference compounds. Their fluorescence quantum yields were found to be (Φf(TPPOHO) = 0.10 ± 0.04;Φf(TPPOHM) = 0.09 ± 0.03;Φf(TPPOHP) = 0.13 ± 0.02;Φf(TBP) = 0.08 ± 0.03 andΦf(TBPOHO) = 0.08 ± 0.02 using 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21,23-H-porphine as referenceΦf(TPP) = 0.13). Singlet state lifetimes were also determined in the same solvent. All the porphyrins presented very similar fluorescence lifetimes (mean values ofτS(withO2, air equilibrated) = 9.6 ± 0.3 nanoseconds and (withoutO2, argon purged) = 10.1 ± 0.6 nanoseconds, resp.). The phosphorescence emission was found to be negligible for this series of unsymmetrically substituted mesoporphyrins, but an E-type, thermally activated, delayed fluorescence process was proved to occur at room temperature.

We report the characterization of rotaxanes based on a carbazole–benzophenone thermally activated delayed fluorescence luminophore. We find that the mechanical bond leads to an improvement in key photophysical properties of the emitter, notably an increase in photoluminescence quantum yield and a decrease in the energy difference between singlet and triplet states, as well as fine tuning of the emission wavelength, a feat that is difficult to achieve when using covalently bound substituents. Computational simulations, supported by X-ray crystallography, suggest that this tuning of properties occurs due to weak interactions between the axle and the macrocycle that are enforced by the mechanical bond. This work highlights the benefits of using the mechanical bond to refine existing luminophores, providing a new avenue for emitter optimization that can ultimately increase the performance of these molecules.
