The Effects of Different Solvents and Excitation Wavelength on the Photophysical Properties of Two Novel Ir(III) Complexes Based on Phenylcinnoline Ligand

Two novel cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes, Ir(pcl)₂(pic) and Ir(pcl)₂(fpic) (pcl: 3-phenylcinnoline, pic: picolinic acid, fpic: 5-fluoro-2-picolinic acid) were synthesized and characterized by FTIR, ¹H NMR spectroscopy, UV-vis, PL, and MALDI-TOF. These two Ir-complexes geometry were predicted using the Sparkle/PM6 model and suggested to a chemical environment of very low symmetry around the Ir ions (C ₁). The PL spectrum of Ir(pcl)₂(pic) and Ir(pcl)₂(fpic) indicated that these complex belonged to red light emission, and maximum emission wavelength located at 647 and 641 nm, respectively. Most importantly, the effects of different solvents on their photoluminescent properties were detailed investigated. The results indicated that the polarity of solvent played an important role for their emission spectra. With introducing fluoro group to the pyridyl ring, the maximum emission wavelength of Ir(pcl)₂(fpic) was blue shifted about 6 nm, and the quantum yield was slightly higher than that of Ir(pcl)₂(pic). In addition, the thermal properties of these two Ir-complexes were measured by TGA, and results indicated that they had relative good thermal properties.

Photophysical Properties of New Terbium (III) Organophosphonates

This paper reports on the synthesis, characterization and photophysical properties of the Tb³⁺ organophosphonates, TbH(O₃PR)₂, methylphosphonate (R=CH₃), ethylphosphonate (R=C₂H₅), propylphosphonate (R=C₃H₇), and phenylphosphonate (R=C₆H₅). The layered Tb³⁺ organophosphonates were characterized by X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, TG and elemental analysis. The interlayer distances of the Tb³⁺ organophosphonates evaluated by the X-ray diffractogram were 9.50 Å for TbH(O₃PCH₃)₂, 12.18 Å for TbH(O₃PC₂H₅)₂, 14.84 Å for TbH(O₃PC₃H₇)₂ and 15.20 Å for TbH(O₃PC₆H₅)₂. The Tb³⁺ luminescence data revealed highly green emissive materials when they were excited at 368 nm, where the characteristic ⁵D₄ → ⁷F _J (J=6, 5, 4 and 3) transitions of Tb³⁺ were observed at 488, 543, 585 and 619 nm, respectively. The lifetime of the Tb^{3+ 5}D₄ → ⁷F₅ transition (λ_exc=368 nm and λ_em=543 nm) for the Tb³⁺ organophosphonates was evaluated from the decay curves, which values were of 2.88, 2.22, 2.14 and 2.59 ms, respectively for TbH(O₃PCH₃)₂, TbH(O₃PC₂H₅)₂, TbH(O₃PC₃H₇)₂ and TbH(O₃PC₆H₅)₂. TG analysis revealed that these materials are thermally highly stable, with no water molecule in their composition, which makes them potential luminophores.     

紫细菌捕光天线LH2中的超快光物理研究

采用飞秒泵浦探测技术研究了紫细菌外周捕光天线LH2中的超快光动力学过程.从B800蓝侧的激发态动力学中观察到B800到B850的能量传递时间,实验结果与理论计算结果的差别说明激发B800时可能引起B850上激子带的直接激发,或存在由B800到B850上激子态的能量传递通道.在B800红侧激发的动力学过程中,漂白信号前端存在的一个快速光吸收信号主要来源于B850上激子带的直接激发.在天然RS601和突变体GM309的LH2中,800 nm激发时的动力学过程都表现为一个类似的光漂白过程,动力学曲线的衰减时间常量在天然LH2中明显快于突变体中,说明在GM309中B800到B850的激发能传递速率有所降低.而在845 nm激发下两个样品中的快过程类似,但慢过程在GM309中有所增快,激发态中的能量重新分布包括逆向的能量传递也受到类胡萝卜素微结构的影响.

Structural Investigation and Photoluminescent Properties of Gadolinium(III), Europium(III) and Terbium(III) 3-Mercaptopropionate Complexes

This work reports on the synthesis, crystallographic determination and spectroscopic characterization of gadolinium(III), terbium(III) and europium(III) 3-mercaptopropionate complexes, aqua-tris(3-mercaptopropionate)lanthanide(III) - [Ln(mpa)₃(H₂O)]. The Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters were experimentally determined from emission spectrum of the [Eu(mpa)₃(H₂O)]complex and they were also calculated from crystallographic data. The complexes are coordination polymers, where the units of each complex are linked together by carboxylate groups leading to an unidimensional and parallel chains that by chemical interactions form a tridimensional framework. The emission spectrum profile of the [Eu(mpa)₃(H₂O)] complex is discussed based on point symmetry of the europium(III) ion, that explains the bands splitting observed in its emission spectrum. Photoluminescent analysis of the [Gd(mpa)₃(H₂O)] complex show no efficient ligand excitation but an intense charge transfer band. The excitation spectra of the [Eu(mpa)₃(H₂O)] and [Tb(mpa)₃(H₂O)] complexes do not show evidence of energy transfer from the ligand to the excited levels of these trivalent ions. Therefore the emission bands are originated only by direct f-f intraconfigurational excitation of the lantanide(III) ions.

Synthesis and Fluorescence Properties of Lanthanide (III) Perchlorate Complexes with Bis(benzoylmethyl) Sulfoxide

A ligand with two carbonyl groups and one sulfinyl group has been synthesized by a new method and its several lanthanide (III) complexes were synthesized and characterized by element analysis, molar conductivity, coordination titration analysis, IR, TG-DSC, ¹H NMR and UV spectra. The results indicated that the composition of these complexes is REL₅(ClO₄)₃·3H₂O (RE = La(III), Pr(III), Eu(III), Tb(III), Yb(III), L = C₆H₅COCH₂SOCH₂COC₆H₅). The fluorescent spectra illustrate that both the Tb (III) and Eu (III) complexes display characteristic metal-centered fluorescence in solid state, indicating the ligand favors energy transfer to the excitation state energy level of them. However, the Tb (III) complex displays more effective luminescence than the Eu (III) complex, which is attributed to especial effectively in transferring energy from the average triplet energy level of the ligands (T) onto the excited state (⁵D₄) of Tb (III) than that (⁵D₀) of Eu (III), showing a good antenna effect for Tb(III) luminescence. The phosphorescence spectra and the relationship between fluorescence lifetimes and fluorescence intensities were also discussed.     

Synthesis and Fluorescence Properties of Lanthanide (III) Perchlorate Complexes with Naphthyl-Naphthalinesulphonylpropyl Sulfoxide

A ligand with double sulfinyl groups, naphthyl-naphthalinesulphonylpropyl sulfoxide(dinaphthyl disulfoxide, L), was synthesized by a new method and its several lanthanide (III) complexes were synthesized and characterized by element analysis, molar conductivity, coordination titration analysis, IR, TG-DTA, ¹HNMR and UV spectra. The composition of these complexes, were RE₂(ClO₄)₆·(L)₅·nH₂O (RE = La, Nd, Eu, Tb, Yb, n = 2 ∼ 6, L = C₁₀H₇SOC₃H₆SOC₁₀H₇). The fluorescent spectra illustrated that the Eu (III) complex had an excellent luminescence. It was supposed that the ligand was benefited for transferring the energy from ligand to the excitation state energy level (⁵D₀) of Eu (III). The Tb (III) complex displayed weak luminescence, which attributed to low energy transferring efficiency between the average triplet state energy level of ligand and the excited state (⁵D₄) of Tb (III). So the Eu (III) complex displayed a good antenna effect for luminescence. The phosphorescence spectra and the relationship between fluorescence lifetime and fluorescence intensity were also discussed.

The crystal structure of 3a has been determined by X-ray analysis. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of these new complexes 3a???3d have been studied. The photoluminescence spectra of all Ir(III) complexes exhibit deep-red emission maxima at 682, 682, 683 and 698 nm, respectively.

Photophysical properties of novel organic europium (III) complexes

Based on fluorescence and absorbance spectroscopy, the photophysical properties and mechanisms of novel organic europium (III) complexes in the case of different concentration in ethanol solution and solid flour were studied at room temperature. It was found that the complex absorption spectra are mainly due to the Phenanthroline ligand, gradually exhibit saturated absorption from shortwave to long wave with the concentration increased, and stretch and broaden to long wave. And four characteristic peaks of the fluorescence spectra are all emission spectra of Eu3+ in the complex, and the strongest emission wavelength was 617 nm corresponding to the (5)D0-->(7)F2 transition of Eu2+. And then, it is presented that the perturbation of acetanil ligand changes the parity state of Eu3+ energy field, resulting in the increase of (5)D0-->(7)F2 transition probability, making phenanthroline transfer its energy absorbed to Eu3+, and inducing 617nm strong emission of fluorescence peak.     

Syntheses and Fluorescence Properties of Two Novel Lanthanide (III) Perchlorate Complexes with Bis(benzylsulfinyl)methane

A novel ligand with double sulfinyl groups, bis(benzylsulfinyl)methane, was synthesized by a new method and its two lanthanide (III) complexes were synthesized and characterized by element analysis, molar conductivity, coordination titration analysis, IR, TG-DSC, ¹HNMR and UV spectra. The results indicated that the composition of these complexes was REL_2.5(ClO₄)₃·3H₂O (RE = Tb (III), Dy (III), L = C₆H₅CH₂SOCH₂SOCH₂C₆H₅). The FT-IR results revealed that the perchlorate group was bonded with the lanthanide ion by the oxygen atoms, and the coordination was bidentate. The fluorescent spectra illustrated that both the Tb (III) and Dy (III) complexes displayed characteristic fluorescence in solid state, especially for the Tb (III) complex, the peak of ⁵D₄ → ⁷ F₅ of the Tb (III) ion in 544 nm was stronger than that of others. It indicated that the Tb (III) complex could emit purer green fluorescence. By analysis fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra, it was found that the ligand had the advantage to absorb energy and transfer it to the Tb (III) and Dy (III) ions. The phosphorescence spectra and fluorescence lifetimes of the complexes were also measured.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Photoluminescence of a Cyclometalated Iridium(III) Coumarin Complex

In this paper a new cyclometalated iridium(III) coumarin complex, Ir(III)bis(3-(2-benzothiazolyl)coumarinato N,C⁴)(acetylacetonate) (Ir(L)₂(acac)), was synthesized and characterized. X-ray crystallography demonstrated that the iridium(III) ion is hexacoordinated by two C atoms and two N atoms from 3-(2-benzothiazolyl)coumarinato ligands and two O atoms from acac ligand, displaying distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The Ir(L)₂(acac) complex has good thermal stability with less than 2 % weight-reduction occurring at 300 °C, and exhibits strong reddish orange emission. The results shown that Ir(L)₂(acac) is useful for fabrication organic light-emitting diodes.

Synthesis and Luminescence Properties of Two Novel Lanthanide (III) Perchlorate Complexes with Bis(benzoylmethyl) Sulfoxide and Benzoic Acid

Two novel ternary rare earth complexes of Tb(III) and Dy(III) perchlorates with bis(benzoylmethyl) sulfoxide (L) and benzoic acid (L′) had been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, coordination titration analysis, molar conductivity, IR, TG-DSC, ¹HNMR and UV spectra. The results indicated that the composition of these complexes was REL₅L′(ClO₄)₂·nH₂O (RE= Tb(III), Dy(III); L=C₆H₅COCH₂SOCH₂COC₆H₅, L′=C₆H₅COO; n = 6,8). The fluorescence spectra illustrated that the ternary rare earth complexes presented stronger fluorescence intensities, longer lifetimes and higher fluorescence quantum efficiencies than the binary rare earth complexes REL₅·(ClO₄)₃·2H₂O. After the introduction of the second ligand benzoic acid group, the relative fluorescence emission intensities and fluorescence lifetimes of the ternary complexes REL₅L′(ClO₄)₂·nH₂O (RE= Tb(III), Dy(III)) enhanced more obviously than the binary complexes. This indicated that the presence of both organic ligands bis(benzoylmethyl) sulfoxide and the second ligand benzoic acid could sensitize fluorescence intensities of rare earth ions, and the introduction of benzoic acid group was resulted in the enhancement of the fluorescence properties of the ternary rare earth complexes. The phosphorescence spectra were also discussed.     

Theoretical study of Ir(III) complexes with cyclometalated alkenylquinoline ligands

Recently, it was reported that cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes of 2-((E)-2-phenyl-1-ethenyl)quinoline (PEQ) and 1-((E)-2-phenyl-1-ethenyl)isoquinoline (PEIQ) emitted saturated red light with high quantum efficiency and brightness. However, the energy difference between specific wavelengths due to the metal-to-ligand charge transfer (³MLCT) absorption and emission spectra showed rather large Stokes shifts, which originated at the predominant ³(π–π¹) ligand-based emission. In this paper, it is shown that these complexes are consistent with predominant ³(π–π¹) ligand-based emission. To develop the predominant ³MLCT emission of Ir complexes for a highly efficient phosphorescent complex suitable for red OLED devices, proper ligands having a highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level similar to that of 2-phenylpyridine (ppy) ligand were designed to lead to strong mixing between π-orbitals of ligands and the 5d orbital of the centric iridium atom. In order to decrease the HOMO energy level and the lowest an occupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level simultaneously to maintain the same HOMO–LUMO energy gap, an electron accepting group such as F or CF₃ was introduced. By such manipulation of ligands in Ir complexes, it was theoretically possible to change the origin of emission in Ir complex from the predominant ligand-centered ³(π–π¹) excited state to the predominant ³MLCT excited state.
