Transition metal complexes with photoactive charge‐transfer excited states are pervasive
throughout the literature. In particular,[Ru (bpy) 3] 2+(bpy= 2, 2′‐bipyridine), with its metal …

Ru (bPY):+ has certainly been one of the molecules most extensively studied and most
widely used in research laboratories during the last ten years. A unique combination of …

The combination of both very high brightness and deep blue emission from phosphorescent
organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLED) is required for both display and lighting …

A critical review of light-driven interfacial charge-transfer reactions of transition-metal
compounds anchored to mesoporous, nanocrystalline TiO2 (anatase) thin films is described …

Ruthenium compounds, particularly Ru (II) polypyridine complexes, are the class of
transition metal complexes which has been most deeply investigated from a photochemical …

Mixed-valence compounds contain an element which, at least in a formal sense, exists in
more than one oxidation state. 1, 2 This is a common phenomenon. Prussian blue, which …

Density functional theory calculations have been carried out on the series [Ru (bqdi) n (bpy)
3− n] 2+(bpy= 2, 2′-bipyridine, bqdi= o-benzoquinonediimine) to explore the extent of …

The goal of artificial photosynthesis is to use the energy of the sun to make high-energy
chemicals for energy production. One approach, described here, is to use light absorption …

There is a long-standing interest in iron (II) complexes that emit from metal-to-ligand charge
transfer (MLCT) excited states, analogous to ruthenium (II) polypyridines. The 3d6 electrons …

The radiative (kT) andnonradiative (km) decay rates of the metal-to-polypyridine charge-
transfer excited states for an extended series of [OsI1 (bpy, phen) L4]'ri" complexes are …
