Excited-state dynamics of luminescent transition metal complexes with metallophilic and donor–acceptor interactions

Spectroscopic mapping of the gold complex oligomers (dimer, trimer, tetramer, and pentamer) by excited-state coherent nuclear wavepacket motion in aqueous solutions

“…These days, various systems of new metallophilic oligomers with their attractive spectroscopic properties have been found. 6,[18][19][20][21][22] We think that further investigation of these metallophilic systems using the analysis of the coherent nuclear wavepacket motion is very promising for revealing their unique photochemical properties. 9,15…”

Assembly of a cadmium(ii)-based chiral complex: crystal structure and optical properties for solid state white-light emission applications

“…12,13 As a result, Zn(II), Cd(II), and Hg(II)-based complexes are commonly produced, which improve the exploitation of several ligands for metal complexes. 9,14 However, many researchers focus on cadmium due to its specific photo-physical properties resulting from its unique structures and composition, [15][16][17][18] derived from the amiability of this transition metal to establish bonds with several organic ligands simultaneously; there have been several investigations on Cd(II) coordination polymers and multinuclear complexes based on different ligands. 16,19,20 Based on the principles of kinetics in metal complex ligand substitution reactions, it has been suggested that divalent coordination compounds with a d 10 electronic configuration are highly active in kinetics, making ligand substitution reactions more feasible than other transition metal ions.…”

Sulfonyl-functionalized benzo[d]imidazo[5,1-b]thiazole-based carbenes as building blocks for two-coordinate Cu(i) complexes exhibiting fast and efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence

“…In addition, the characteristic strong heavy metal-induced spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effect enables fast emissive processes originating from the otherwise dark triplet excited states. 9 The high cost and the low natural abundance of the noble metals (Re, Ru, Os, Ir, and Pt) commonly used in the synthesis of photoactive complexes have encouraged the search for more affordable substitutes. 10 For this reason, copper has been considered as an attractive alternative.…”
