Abstract

In Table 1, the room-temperature lifetimes for [ C u ( d ~p ) ~] + and [Cu(tpp)2]+ are incorrect and should be 240 and 190 ns, respectively. The quantum yields are also incorrect and should be as follows: [ C ~( d m p ) ~] + 2.1 x [ C ~( d p p ) ~] + 8.0 x [Cu(bcp)J+ 2.5 X and [ C ~( t p p ) ~] + 10.0 x

Taking Snapshots of Photoexcited Molecules in Disordered Media by Using Pulsed Synchrotron X‐rays

“…When the interaction is strong, the lifetime of the MLCT state is shortened significantly and the luminescence is quenched, which has been characterized by the exciplex formation reported previously. [123][124][125][126][127] Therefore, the pump-probe XAFS measurements in the time domain provide new insights into the fundamental aspects of structural factors that may influence photoinduced electron and energy-transfer processes (Figure 11 b).…”

“…+ -the "Exciplex" [79,122] The MLCT excited states of cuprous diimine compounds are potential-energy and electron donors, [123][124][125][126][127][128] and functional moieties in molecular devices, because of their room temperature luminescence and structural reorganization upon Cu I -Cu II interconversion triggered electrochemically or photochemically. [129,130] Among these compounds, [Cu I (dmp) 2 ] + (dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) is one of the most extensively studied, in which the photoinduced MLCT transition can be shown as, [Cu I (dmp) 2 ] + + hn!…”

“…[Cu II (dmp À )(dmp)] + * (Figure 12 a). [123][124][125][126][127][128] The ground state [Cu I (dmp) 2 ] + has a pseudotetrahedral coordination geometry, with two dmp planes almost orthogonal to each other. [131] Absorption of a visible-light photon promotes an electron from Cu I to one of the dmp ligands, which results in intramolecular charge separation in a FC MLCT state with a Cu II * center coordinated to one reduced and one neutral dmp ligand.…”

“…In noncoordinating solvents, the MLCT state is Figure 12. a) Previously accepted mechanism in literature for photoinduced MLCT excitation of [Cu(dmp) 2 ] + in solution, [123][124][125][126][127][128] and b) the reaction mechanisim modified by the results from the XAFS study. luminescent at room temperature and has lifetimes ranging from several tens to over 100 ns.…”

Lithium‐Templated Synthesis of a Donor–Acceptor Pseudorotaxane and Catenane

“…One successful example of a lithium templated synthesis of [2]-catenanes by using metathesis has been reported previously. [33] We have explored the influence of Li-templated complexation on catenane formation in our system: as previously reported, catenanes 4 and 5 could be synthesized by using the reversible-alkene-metathesis reaction. [34] The yield obtained was in accordance with the strength of the donor-acceptor interactions giving a 20 % yield of 4 and 60 % yield for 5.…”
