AbstractThe excited state properties of Pt(II) complexes are strongly influenced by their microenvironment and by intermolecular interactions. In this work, we investigated the photoluminescence of six Pt(II) complexes adsorbed onto a layered nanoclay, namely Laponite® (LAP). The excellent water dispersibility and gel-forming nature of the LAP was exploited to achieve a class of versatile materials. In particular, we report on the comparative photophysics of the dry powders and the hydrogels. Steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy were used to assess the role of structural features at molecular level on the interaction between the nanodiscs, which in turn affects the intermolecular coupling of the coordination compounds in the excited state.

Room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials have been attracting tremendous interest, owing to their unique material characteristics and potential applications for state-of-the-art optoelectronic devices. Recently, we reported the synthesis and fundamental photophysical properties of new RTP materials based on benzil, i.e., fluorinated monobenzil derivative and fluorinated and non-fluorinated bisbenzil derivative analogues [Yamada, S. et al., Beilstein J. Org. Chem. 2020, 16, 1154–1162.]. To deeply understand their RTP properties, we investigated the excited-state dynamics and photostability of the derivatives by means of time-resolved and steady-state photoluminescence spectroscopies. For these derivatives, clear RTP emissions with lifetimes on the microsecond timescale were identified. Among them, the monobenzil derivative was found to be the most efficient RTP material, showing both the longest lifetime and highest amplitude RTP emission. Time-resolved photoluminescence spectra, measured at 77 K, and density functional theory calculations revealed the existence of a second excited triplet state in the vicinity of the first excited singlet state for the monobenzil derivative, indicative of the presence of a fast intersystem crossing pathway. The correlation between the excited state dynamics, emission properties, and conformational flexibility of the three derivatives is discussed.

AbstractNon-valence states in neutral molecules (Rydberg states) have well-established roles and importance in photochemistry, however, considerably less is known about the role of non-valence states in photo-induced processes in anions. Here, femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging is used to show that photoexcitation of the S1(ππ*) state of the methyl ester of deprotonated para-coumaric acid – a model chromophore for photoactive yellow protein (PYP) – leads to a bifurcation of the excited state wavepacket. One part remains on the S1(ππ*) state forming a twisted intermediate, whilst a second part leads to the formation of a non-valence (dipole-bound) state. Both populations eventually decay independently by vibrational autodetachment. Valence-to-non-valence internal conversion has hitherto not been observed in the intramolecular photophysics of an isolated anion, raising questions into how common such processes might be, given that many anionic chromophores have bright valence states near the detachment threshold.

ABSTRACTPicosecond time resolved photoluminescence and photoconductivity measurements are performed to investigate the influence of high intensity illumination on the properties of Fullerene crystals. A highly nonlinear dependence of both the photoluminescence characteristics and the photoconductive response of the fullerenes is seen and temperature dependent measurements indicate that the nonlinear processes are associated with an insulatormetal-like phase transition in the material, and thus that the electronic properties of the excited state are dramatically altered at high excited state densities. The observed behaviour is compared and contrasted to the changes in the optical properties upon photochemical modification of the pristine material via Raman spectroscopy. Application of a simple phenomenological model to calculate the contribution of intermolecular exchange and correlation energies in the excited state supports the proposal that the observed phenomena originate from a Mott-like phase transition. A further manifestation of this behaviour is the emergence of a broadband electroluminescent emission above a critical injection current density.
