Ligand effects on structures and spectroscopic properties of pyridine-2-aldoxime complexes of Re(CO)3(+): DFT/TDDFT theoretical studies

The series of novel rhenium(I) tricarbonyl mixed-ligand complexes Re(X)(CO)(3)(N^N) (N^N = pyridine-2-aldoxime; X = -Cl, 1; X = -CN, 2; and X = -C≡C, 3) has been investigated theoretically to explore the ligand X effect on their electronic structures and spectroscopic properties. The contribution of the X ligand to the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and HOMO-1 decreases in the order of 3 > 1 > 2, in line with the π-donating abilities of the X: -C≡C > -Cl > -CN. The reorganization energy (λ) calculations show that 1 and 3 will result in the higher efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes than 2. The lowest-lying absorptions of 1 and 3 can be assigned to the {[d(xz), d(yz)(Re) + π(CO) + π(X)] → [π* (N^N)]} transition with mixing metal-to-ligand, ligand-to-ligand, and X ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT/LLCT/XLCT) character, whereas this absorption at 354 nm (H-1 → L) of 2 is assigned to {[d(xz), d(yz)(Re) + π(CO) + π(N^N)] → [π* (N^N)]} transition with MLCT/LLCT/ILCT (intraligand charge transfer). Furthermore, the absorptions are red-shifted in the order 2, 1, and 3, with the increase of π-donating abilities of X ligands. The solvent effects cause red shifts of the absorption and emission spectra with decreasing solvent polarity.     

Theoretical studies on structures and spectroscopic properties of photoelectrochemical cell ruthenium sensitizers, [Ru(Hmtcterpy)(NCS)3]n- (m = 0, 1, 2, and 3; n = 4, 3, 2, and 1)

A series of ruthenium(II) complexes, [Ru(tcterpy)(NCS)3](4-) (0H), [Ru(Htcterpy)(NCS)3](3-) (1H), [Ru(H2tcterpy)(NCS)3](2-) (2H), and [Ru(H3tcterpy)(NCS)3](-) (3H) (tcterpy = 4,4',4'-tricarboxy-2,2':6',2'-terpyridine), are investigated theoretically to explore their electronic structures and spectroscopic properties. The geometry structures of the complexes in the ground and excited states are optimized by the density functional theory and single-excitation configuration interaction methods, respectively. The absorption and emission spectra of the complexes in gas phase and solutions (ethanol and water) are predicted at the TDDFT(B3LYP) level. The calculations indicate that the protonation effect slightly affects the geometry structures of the complexes in the ground and excited states but leads to significant change in the electronic structures. In cases of both absorptions and emissions, the energy levels of HOMOs and LUMOs for 0H-3H decrease dramatically as a result of the introduction of the COOH groups. The protonation much stabilizes the unoccupied orbitals with respect to the occupied orbitals. Thus, both the absorptions and emissions are red-shifted from 0H to 3H. The phosphorescence of 0H-3H are attributed to tcterpyridine --> d(Ru)/NCS ((3)MLCT/(3)LLCT) transitions. The solvent media can influence the molecular orbital distribution of the complexes; as a consequence, the spectra calculated in the presence of the solvent are in good agreement with the experimental results. The MLCT/LLCT absorptions of 0H in ethanol and water are red-shifted relative to that in the gas phase. However, the MLCT/LLCT absorptions of the protonated complexes (1H-3H) are blue-shifted in ethanol and water with respect to the gas phase. Similarly, the solvent effect causes a blue-shift of the phosphorescent emission for 0H-3H.     

高效发光材料[(C^N)2IrL]+阳离子配合物的结构和光谱特征

从理论上研究了一系列Ir(Ⅲ)[(C^N)2IrL]+[C^N=ppy, L=pzpy(1); C^N=dfppy, L=pzpy(2); C^N=ppy, L=pybi(3); C^N=tpy, L=acac(4); 其中ppy=2-苯基吡啶, dfppy=2-(2,4-双氟苯基)吡啶, pzpy=2-吡唑基吡啶, pybi=1-苯基-2-(吡啶基)-1H-苯并咪唑, tpy=2-(4-甲苯基)-吡啶, acac=乙酰丙酮]配合物的结构和光谱特征. 分别在B3LYP/LanL2DZ和CIS/LanL2DZ计算水平下优化了它们的基态和激发态结构. 计算得到的Ir-N, Ir-C和Ir-O基态键长和相应实验值符合较好. 在激发态下, Ir-N和Ir-C键长增加了约0.0003~0.003 nm, 而Ir-O键长则缩短了约0.0012 nm. 在含时密度泛函理论(TD-DFT)计算水平下, 结合极化连续介质模型(PCM), 得到配合物1~4的最低能的吸收和发射分别出现在398 nm(1), 370 nm(2), 419 nm(3)和437 nm(4)以及511 nm(1), 457 nm(2), 602 nm(3)和479 nm(4). 配合物1, 2, 4的跃迁属于d(Ir)+π(C^N)→π*(C^N)的电荷转移跃迁, 而化合物3的跃迁则归因于d(Ir)+π(C^N)→π*(pybi)的电荷转移跃迁. 这表明此类配合物的吸收和发射主要受前线分子轨道的金属成分控制, 同时也受辅助配体L的影响.     

Theoretical studies on structures and spectroscopic properties of a series of novel cationic [trans-(C/N)2Ir(PH3)2]+ (C/N = ppy, bzq, ppz, dfppy)

The geometries, electronic structures, and spectroscopic properties of a series of novel cationic iridium(III) complexes [trans-(C/N)(2)Ir(PH(3))(2)]+ (C/N = 2-phenylpyridine, 1; benzoquinoline, 2; 1-phenylpytazolato, 3; 2-(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridimato, 4) were investigated theoretically. The ground- and excited-state geometries were optimized at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ and CIS/LANL2DZ levels, respectively. The optimized geometry structural parameters agree well with the corresponding experimental results. The unoccupied molecular orbitals are dominantly localized on the C/N ligand, while the occupied molecular orbitals are composed of Ir atom and C/N ligand. Under the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) level with the polarized continuum model (PCM) model, the absorption and phosphorescence in acetonitrile (MeCN) media were calculated based on the optimized ground- and excited-state geometries, respectively. The calculated results showed that the lowest-lying absorptions at 364 nm (1), 389 nm (2), 317 nm (3), and 344 nm (4) are all attributed to a {[d(yz)(Ir) + pi(C/N)] --> [pi*(C/N)]} transition with metal-to-ligand and intraligand charge transfer (MLCT/ILCT) characters; moreover, the phosphorescence at 460 (1) and 442 nm (4) originates from the 3{[d(yz)(Ir) + pi(C/N)] [pi*(C/N)]} (3)MLCT/(3)ILCT excited state, while that at 505 (2) and 399 nm (3) can be described as originating from different types of (3)MLCT/(3)ILCT excited state (3){[d(xy)(Ir) + pi(C/N)] [pi*(C/N)]}. The calculated results also revealed that the absorption and emission transition character can be altered by adjusting the pi electron-withdrawing groups and, furthermore, suggested that the phosphorescent color can be tuned by changing the pi-conjugation effect of the C/N ligand.     

Theoretical studies on structures and spectroscopic properties of a series of novel mixed-ligand Ir(III) complexes [Ir(Mebib)(ppy)X

The series of novel mixed-ligand iridium(III) complexes Ir(Mebib)(ppy)X (Mebib = bis(N-methylbenzimidazolyl)benzene and ppy = phenylpyridine; X = Cl, 1; X = -C[triple band]CH, 2; X = CN, 3) have been investigated theoretically to explore their electronic structures and spectroscopic properties. The ground and excited state geometries have been fully optimized at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ and CIS/LANL2DZ levels, respectively. The optimized geometry structural parameters agree well with the corresponding experimental results. The HOMO of 1 and 3 are mainly localized on the Ir atom, Mebib, and ppy ligand, but that of 2 has significant X ligand composition. Absorptions and phosphorescences in CH2 Cl2 media have been calculated using the TD-DFT level of theory with the PCM model based on the optimized ground and excited state geometries, respectively. The lowest lying absorptions of 1 and 3 at 444 and 416 nm are attributed to a {[d(yz)(Ir) + pi(Mebib) + pi(ppy)] --> [pi*(Mebib)]} transition with metal-to-ligand, ligand-to-ligand, and intra-ligand charge transfer (MLCT/LLCT/ILCT) character, whereas that of 2 at 458 nm is related to a {[d(yz)(Ir) + pi(Mebib) + pi(ppy) + pi(C[triple band]CH)] --> [pi*(Mebib)]} transition with MLCT/LLCT/ILCT and X ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (XLCT) transition character. The phosphorescence of 1 and 3 at 565 and 543 nm originates from the 3{[dy(yz)(Ir) + pi(Mebib) + pi(ppy)] [pi*(Mebib)]} excited state, while that of 2 at 576 nm originates from the 3{[d(yz)(Ir) + pi(Mebib) + pi(ppy) + pi(C[triple band]CH)] [pi*(Mebib)]} excited state. The calculation results show that the absorption and emission transition character can be changed by altering the pi electron-withdrawing ability of the X ligand and the phosphorescent color can be tuned by adjusting the X ligand.     

DFT/TDDFT studies on the electronic structures and spectral properties of rhenium(I) pyridinybenzoimidazole complexes

The electronic structures and spectral properties of three Re(I) complexes [Re(CO)3XL] (X = Br, Cl; L = 1-(4-5'-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolylbenzyl)-2-pyridinylbenzoimidazole (1), 1-(4-carbazolylbutyl)-2-pyridinylbenzoimidazole (2), and 2-(1-ethylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine (3)) were investigated theoretically. The ground and the lowest lying triplet excited states were fully optimized at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ and CIS/LANL2DZ levels, respectively. TDDFT/PCM calculations have been employed to predict the absorption and emission spectra starting from the ground and excited state geometries, respectively. The lowest lying absorptions were calculated to be at 481, 493, and 486 nm for 1-3, respectively, and all have the transition configuration of HOMO-->LUMO. The lowest lying transitions can be assigned as metal/ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT/LLCT) character for 1, ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LLCT) character for 2, and mixed MLCT/LLCT and intraligand pi-->pi* charge transfer (ILCT) character for 3. The emission of 1 at 551 nm has the MLCT/(3)LLCT character, 2 has the (3)MLCT/(3)LLCT character at 675 nm, and the 651 nm transition of 3 has the character of (3)MLCT/(3)LLCT/(3)ILCT. Ionization potentials (IP) and electron affinities (EA) calculations show that the comparable EA and smaller IP values and the relatively balanceable charges transfer ability of 2 with respect to 1 and 3 result in the higher efficiency of OLEDs. The calculated results show that the absorption and emission transition character and device's efficiency can be changed by altering the ancillary ligands.     

Theoretical studies of the spectroscopic properties of [Pt(trpy)C[triple bond]CR]+ (trpy = 2,2',6',2"-terpyridine; R = H, CH2OH, and C6H5)

Electronic structures and spectroscopic properties of [Pt(trpy)C[triple bond]CR](+) (trpy = 2,2', 6',2' '-terpyridine; R = H (1), CH(2)OH (2), and C(6)H(5) (3) ) are studied by ab initio and DFT methods. The ground- and excited-state structures are optimized by the MP2 and CIS methods, respectively. The absorption and emission spectra in the dichloromethane solution are obtained by using TD-DFT (B3LYP) method associated with the PCM model. The calculations indicate that, for 1-3, the variation of the substituents on the acetylide ligand only slightly changes their structures in ground and excited states but leads to a sizable difference in the electronic structures. In both cases of absorption and emission, the energy levels of HOMOs for 1-3 are sensitive to the substituents on acetylide ligand and increase obviously with the introduction of the electron-donating groups; however, those of trpy-based LUMOs vary slightly. The lowest-energy emissions are attributed to triplet acetylide/Pt --> trpy charge transfer ((3)LLCT/(3)MLCT) transitions and the lowest-energy absorptions and emissions for 1-3 are red-shifted on the order of 1 < 2 < 3 when the electron-donating groups are introduced into the acetylide ligand. By comparison of the results obtained by using different functionals in TD-DFT method, the calculations indicate that the exchange-correlation functionals (B3LYP, B3P86 and B3PW91) involving Becke three parameter hybrid functionals are appropriate for the terpyridyl platinum(II) acetylide complexes to get the relatively satisfactory results for the absorption spectra. The underestimated excitation energies of lowest-lying absorption bands are probably due to insufficient flexibility in TD-DFT method to describe states with large charge transfer.
