Dynamic saturable optical nonlinearities in free base tetrapyridylporphyrin

Abstract: Dynamic optical nonlinearities in free base tetrapyridylporphyrin (H 2 TPyP) solutions were investigated at 532 nm with the Z-scan technique. We observed a reverse saturable absorption process that was found to have a fast contribution related to the singlet population and a slow accumulative contribution arising from the triplet population. The optical excitations and subsequent relaxations can be interpreted with a five-energy-level diagram that allows determination of the excited states photophysical parame… Show more

“…Since complex 1 does not present emission in this spectral range (only a very weak emission at around 540 nm is observed for this complex (Figure 3, SI), and as this new feature is not present in the H 2 TPyP moiety, the observed new spectral signature in the fluorescence spectrum can be attributed to transitions involving states of the two moieties (porphyrin ring and ruthenium outlying group). 44,45 Probably, this new fluorescence peak (around 800 nm) is a deactivation path assigned to charge transfer from ruthenium to porphyrin or vice versa. However, when the sample is excited at the Soret band (425 nm), complex 3a shows similar behavior presented by complex (2), and when excited at 350 and 480 nm, more drastic modifications of fluorescence emission can be observed [see Figure 8(b)].…”

“…However, when complex 2 is excited in the region composed by the superposition of intraligand band from the ruthenium groups and at the higher energetic portion of the Soret band (350 nm) and in the region composed by the superposition of MLCT and Q-band (480 nm), a weak, but noticeable new fluorescence feature is observed at around 800 nm [Figure (a)]. Since complex 1 does not present emission in this spectral range (only a very weak emission at around 540 nm is observed for this complex (Figure , SI), and as this new feature is not present in the H 2 TPyP moiety, the observed new spectral signature in the fluorescence spectrum can be attributed to transitions involving states of the two moieties (porphyrin ring and ruthenium outlying group). , …”
