Conspectus Photofunctional molecules and assemblies lie at the heart of many important
fundamental processes in nature, and researchers have generated multitudes of artificial …

Low-power upconversion via sensitized triplet–triplet annihilation (TTA-UC) is a useful and
versatile process that allows for the conversion of optical radiation into photons of higher …

Conspectus Mechanistic studies have historically played a key role in the discovery and
optimization of reactions in organic and organometallic chemistry. However, even …

The phosphorescence emission of perylene bisimide derivatives has been rarely reported.
Two novel ruthenium (II) and iridium (III) complexes of an azabenz‐annulated perylene …

Owing to their exceptional photophysical properties and high photostability, perylene
diimide (PDI) chromophores have found various applications as building blocks of materials …

Here, we present a strategy designed to permit access to the PDI triplet manifold that
preserves the desirable colorfastness and visible light-absorption properties associated with …

Photodriving the activity of water-oxidation catalysts is a critical step toward generating fuel
from sunlight. The design of a system with optimal energetics and kinetics requires a …

The emission from transition metal complexes is usually produced from triplet excited states.
Owing to strong spin–orbit coupling (SOC), the fast conversion of singlet to triplet excited …

The photophysical properties of a series of gold (I)[LAu (CCR)](L= PCy3 (1a–4a), RNC (5a),
NHC (6a)) and gold (III) complexes [Au (C^ N^ C)(CCR)](1b–4b) bearing heterocyclic …

Via regioselective Ir-catalyzed C–H borylation and subsequent reactions (ie, viaBr4-Per or
(BF3K) 4-Per intermediates), we have introduced strong π-donors and acceptors at the 2, 5 …
