Electronic structures and spectroscopic properties of nitrido-osmium(VI) complexes with acetylide ligands [OsN(C[Triple Bond]CR)4]- R=H, CH3, and Ph by density functional theory calculation

Electronic structures and spectroscopic properties of a series of nitrido-osmium (VI) complex ions with acetylide ligands, [OsN(C[Triple Bond]CR)(4)](-) (R[Double Bond]H, (1), CH(3) (2), and Ph (3)) were investigated theoretically. The structures of the complexes were fully optimized at the B3LYP and CIS level for the ground states and excited states, respectively. The calculated bond lengths of Os[Triple Bond]N (1.639 A in 1, 1.642 A in 2, and 1.643 A in 3) and Os-C (2.040 A in 1, 2.043 A in 2, and 2.042 A in 3) in ground state agree well with the experimental results. The bond length of Os[Triple Bond]N bond is lengthened by ca. 0.13 A in the A (3)B(2) excited state compared to the (1)A(1) ground state, which is consistent with the lower vibration frequency of nu(Os-N) ( approximately 780 cm(-1)) in the excited state than that ( approximately 1175 cm(-1)) in the ground state. Among the calculated dipole-allowed absorptions at lambda>250 nm, the intense absorption at 261 nm for 1, 266 nm for 2, and 300 nm for 3 were attributed to the (1)[pi(C[Triple Bond]C)]-->(1)[pi(*)(N[Triple Bond]Os)+pi(*)(C[Triple Bond]C)], (1)[pi(C[Triple Bond]C)]-->(1)[pi(*)(N[Triple Bond]Os)+pi(*)(C[Triple Bond]C)], and (1)[pi(C[Triple Bond]CPh)]-->(1)[pi(*)(N[Triple Bond]Os)+pi(*)(C[Triple Bond]CPh)], respectively. The lowest energy absorption at lambda(max)=393 nm for 1, 400 nm for 2, and 400 nm for 3 were assigned as (1)[d(xy)(Os)+pi(C[Triple Bond]C)]-->(1)[pi(*)(N[Triple Bond]Os)+pi(*)(C[Triple Bond]C)], (1)[d(xy)(Os)+pi(C[Triple Bond]C)]-->(1)[pi(*)(N[Triple Bond]Os)+pi(*)(C[Triple Bond]C)], and (1)[d(xy)(Os)+pi(C[Triple Bond]CPh)]-->(1)[pi(*)(N[Triple Bond]Os)+pi(*)(C[Triple Bond]CPh)], respectively. The calculated phosphorescence emission at lambda(max)=581 nm for 1, 588 nm for 2, and 609 nm for 3 were originated from (3)[(pi(*)(N[Triple Bond]Os)+pi(*)(C[Triple Bond]C))(1)(d(xy)(Os)+pi(C[Triple Bond]C))(1)], (3)[(pi(*)(N[Triple Bond]Os)+pi(*)(C[Triple Bond]C))(1)(d(xy)(Os)+pi(C[Triple Bond]C))(1)], and (3)[(pi(*)(N[Triple Bond]Os)+pi(*)(C[Triple Bond]CPh))(1)(d(xy)(Os)+pi(C[Triple Bond]CPh))(1)] excited state, respectively.     

Theoretical studies on Ru(fppz)2(CO)L (L = N-heterocyclic ligand): Electronic structure, absorption, phosphorescence, and solvatochromism

A series of ruthenium(II) complexes Ru(fppz)₂(CO)L [fppz = 3-trifluoromethyl-5(2-pyridyl)pyrazole; L = pyridine (1), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (2), 4-cyanopyridine (3)] were designed and investigated theoretically to explore their electronic structures, absorption, and emissions as well as the solvatochromism. The singlet ground state and triplet excited state geometries were fully optimized at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ and CIS/LANL2DZ level, respectively. The HOMO of 1–3 is composed of d_yz(Ru) atom and π(fppz). The LUMO of 1 and 2 is dominantly contributed by π*(fppz) orbital, but that of 3 is contribute by π*(L). Absorption and phosphorescence in vacuo, C₆H₁₂, and CH₃CN media were 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 absorption of 1 and 2 at 387 and 391 nm is attributed to {[d_yz(Ru) + π(fppz)] → [π*(fppz)]} transition, but that of 3 at 479 nm is assigned to {[d_yz(Ru) + π(fppz)] → [π*(L)]} transition. The phosphorescence of 1 and 2 at 436 and 438 nm originates from ³{[d_yz(Ru) + π(fppz)] [π*(fppz)]} excited state, while that of 3 at 606 nm is from ³{[d_yz(Ru) + π(fppz)] [π*(L)]} excited state. The calculation results showed that the absorption and emission transition character can be changed from MLCT/ILCT to MLCT/LLCT transition by altering the substituent on the L ligand. The phosphorescence of 1 and 2 does not have solvatochromism, but that of 3 at 606 nm (vacuo), 584 nm (C₆H₁₂), and 541 nm (CH₃CN) is strongly dependent on the solvent polarity, so introducing electron-withdrawing group on ligand L will induce remarkable solvatochromism.     

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.

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.     

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 blue emitting iridium complexes

Electronic structures, absorptions and emissions of a series of (ppy)₂Ir(acac) derivatives (ppy = 2- phenylpyridine; acac = acetoylacetonate) with fluoro substituent on ppy ligands were investigated theoretically. The ground and excited states geometries were fully optimized at B3LYP/LANL2DZ and CIS/LANL2DZ level, respectively. The HOMO is composed of d(Ir) and π(C^∧N), while the LUMO is localized on C^∧N ligand. The absorptions and emissions in CH₂Cl₂ media were calculated under the TD–DFT level with PCM model. The lowest-lying absorption of these complexes is dominantly attributed to metal-to-ligand and intraligand charge transfer (MLCT/ILCT) transitions and the emission of them originates from ³MLCT/³ILCT excited states. The absorption and emission of these complexes are blue-shifted by increasing the number of fluoro on phenyl, but the spectra are red-shifted by adding fluoro on pyridyl. While a single fluoro of different substituted site on phenyl results in different extent blue-shift to the spectra.

The ground and triplet excited state geometries, metal-metal (Ir-Au) attractive interaction, electronic structures, absorptions, and phosphorescence of three d(8)-d(10) Ir(i)-Au(i) complexes [Ir(CO)ClAu(mu-dpm)(2)](-) (1), [Ir(CNCH(3))(2)Au(mu-dpm)(2)](2-) (2), and [Ir(CNCH(3))(3)Au(mu-dpm)(2)](2-) (3) [dpm = bis(diphosphino)methane] were investigated theoretically. Their ground and triplet excited states geometries were fully optimized at the MP2 and UMP2 (6-31G for H/C/N/O atoms, LANL2DZ for Ir/Au/P/Cl) levels, respectively, and the calculated geometries are well consistent with the X-ray results. The calculated results indicated that a weak Ir-Au interaction exists in the ground state of , moreover the interaction of and is strengthened by excitation, on contrast, the Ir-Au attractive interaction of in the excited state becomes little lower than that in the ground state. By adding one more CNMe group on complex , the bond type of HOMO can be changed from sigma*[d(z(2))(Ir/Au)] to sigma[d(z(2))(Ir/Au)]. Under the TD-DFT level with PCM model, the absorptions and phosphorescence of were calculated based on the optimized ground and excited states geometries, respectively. The lowest-lying absorptions of 1 and 2 are all attributed to sigma*[d(z(2))] --> sigma[p(z)] and that of 3 is assigned to sigma[d(z(2))] --> pi[p(z)] with MC/MMLCT transition characters. The phosphorescence of 1, 2 and 3 and are assigned to sigma[p(z)] --> sigma*[d], sigma[p(z)] --> sigma*[d], and pi[p(z)] --> sigma[d] transitions, respectively. The calculated results also indicated that with the increase of the Ir-Au bond distance both in the ground and the excited state, the absorptions and the emissions are red-shifted correspondingly.     

Theoretical studies on Ru(fppz)2(CO)L (L = N -heterocyclic ligand): Electronic structure, absorption, phosphorescence, and solvatochromism

A series of ruthenium(II) complexes Ru(fppz)₂(CO)L [fppz = 3-trifluoromethyl-5(2-pyridyl)pyrazole; L = pyridine (1), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (2), 4-cyanopyridine (3)] were designed and investigated theoretically to explore their electronic structures, absorption, and emissions as well as the solvatochromism. The singlet ground state and triplet excited state geometries were fully optimized at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ and CIS/LANL2DZ level, respectively. The HOMO of 1–3 is composed of d_yz(Ru) atom and π(fppz). The LUMO of 1 and 2 is dominantly contributed by π*(fppz) orbital, but that of 3 is contribute by π*(L). Absorption and phosphorescence in vacuo, C₆H₁₂, and CH₃CN media were 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 absorption of 1 and 2 at 387 and 391 nm is attributed to {[d_yz(Ru) + π(fppz)] → [π*(fppz)]} transition, but that of 3 at 479 nm is assigned to {[d_yz(Ru) + π(fppz)] → [π*(L)]} transition. The phosphorescence of 1 and 2 at 436 and 438 nm originates from ³{[d_yz(Ru) + π(fppz)] [π*(fppz)]} excited state, while that of 3 at 606 nm is from ³{[d_yz(Ru) + π(fppz)] [π*(L)]} excited state. The calculation results showed that the absorption and emission transition character can be changed from MLCT/ILCT to MLCT/LLCT transition by altering the substituent on the L ligand. The phosphorescence of 1 and 2 does not have solvatochromism, but that of 3 at 606 nm (vacuo), 584 nm (C₆H₁₂), and 541 nm (CH₃CN) is strongly dependent on the solvent polarity, so introducing electron-withdrawing group on ligand L will induce remarkable solvatochromism.
