The chromium(III) complex Cr(ppy)3, a structural analog of the green phosphorescent iridium(III) complex Ir(ppy)3 (from a metal-to-ligand charge-transfer state), emits even in solution at room temperature from a weakly distorted...
Steric protection strongly reduces phosphorescence quenching of excited molecular rubies by oxygen. The most bulky ligand enables photoluminescence quantum yields up to 5.1% and lifetimes up to 518 µs in air-saturated acetonitrile.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
