Chemistry Physics Rhenium(I) carbonyl thermal equilibrium photophysics transient absorption infrared Re(I) This thesis describes the synthesis and photophysics of a new Re(I)-carbonyl diimine complex, [Re(PNI-phen)(CO)<sub>3</sub>Cl], where the PNI-phen is N-(1,10-phenanthroline)-4-nitronaphthalene-1,8-dicarboximide. The PNI chromophore effectively sensitizes the metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) state through efficient Förster-type singlet energy transfer. This complex exhibits extended MLCT emission lifetimes as a result of having triplet ligand-centered (<sup>3</sup>LC) states nearly isoenergetic to the <sup>3</sup>MLCT states. Once the excited-state is in the triplet manifold, a thermal equilibrium is achieved between the <sup>3</sup>LC and the <sup>3</sup>MLCT states. This equilibrium increases the MLCT emission lifetime approximately 3000-fold at room temperature relative to the MLCT model complex, [Re(phen)(CO)<sub>3</sub>Cl]. Thermal equilibrium is lost at 77 K since the emission decays independently from both the <sup>3</sup>LC and <sup>3</sup>MLCT states. Temperature dependent photoluminescence experiments estimate the energy gap between the two triplet excited states to be about 1500 to 1600 cm<sup>-1</sup> at room temperature. The evolution of excited-states formed following the original Frank-Condon state excitation are studied using a number of techniques including transient absorption, time-resolved infrared, and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. These instrumental techniques allow us to monitor the excited-state dynamics ranging from the femtosecond to the millisecond time domain. 2010-06-02 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1269261887 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1269261887 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
