溶剂极性对D-A-D型延迟荧光分子电荷转移激发态的调控

■二唑基四极分子(2,5-bis(4-(10H-phenoxazin-10-yl)phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole,2PXZ-OXD)具有典型的电子给体(donor)-受体(acceptor)-给体(donor)(D-A-D)的结构特点,表现出优良的延迟荧光特性.我们利用稳态、瞬态光谱方法研究了该分子在不同极性溶剂中的光物理特性,发现随着溶剂极性的增加,Stokes位移明显增加,证明了光激发下2PXZ-OXD分子产生了强偶极性的电荷转移态.进一步的量化计算结果发现,单重激发态的偶极矩显著大于三重激发态的偶极矩,溶剂极性对单重激发态的影响更大.溶剂极性的增加,打破了四极分子的对称性,促进了单重态能级的下降,从而调控单-三重态间能级差,导致延迟荧光特性的改变.溶剂极性在对单重态与三重态的能级差调控的同时,也会对2PXZ-OXD分子的发射振子强度有影响,强极性造成的显著非辐射弛豫过程会明显降低发光性能.     

1,3,4-噁二唑环金属配体的磷光型铱阳离子配合物:溶剂相关的激发态动力学研究

To elucidate the nature of low-lying triplet states and the effect of ligand modifications on the excited-state properties of functional cationic iridium complexes,the solventdependent excited-state dynamics of two phosphorescent cationic iridium (III) complexes,namely[Ir (dph-oxd)₂(bpy)]PF₆(1) and[Ir (dph-oxd)₂(pzpy)]PF₆(2),were investigated by femtosecond and nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy.Upon photoexcitation to the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) states,the excited-state dynamics shows a rapid process (τ=0.7-3 ps) for the formation of solvent stabilized ³MLCT states,which significantly depends on the solvent polarity for both 1 and 2.Sequentially,a relatively slow process assigned to the vibrational cooling/geometrical relaxation and a long-lived phosphorescent emissive state is identified.Due to the different excited-state electronic structures regulated by ancillary ligands,the solvation-induced stabilization of the ³MLCT state in 1 is faster than that in 2.The present results provide a better sight of excited-state relaxation dynamics of ligand-related iridium (III) complexes and solvation effects on triplet manifolds.
