One-step synthesis of ball-shaped metal complexes with a main absorption band in the near-IR region.

ABSTRACT: The design of near-IR materials is highly relevant to energy and pharmaceutical sciences due to the high proportion of near-IR irradiation in the solar spectrum and the high penetration of near-IR light in biological samples. Here, we show the one-step synthesis of hexacoordinated ruthenium and iron complexes that exhibit a main absorption band in the near-IR region. For that purpose, novel tridentate ligands were prepared by condensation of two diimines and four cyanoaryl derivatives in the presence of ruthenium and iron template ions. This method was applied to a wide variety of cyanoaryl, diimine, and metal ion combinations. The relationship between the structure and the optical and electrochemical properties in the resulting complexes was examined, and the results demonstrated that these compounds represent novel near-IR materials whose physical properties can be controlled based on rational design guidelines. The intense absorption bands in the 700-900?nm region were assigned to metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) transitions, which should allow applications in materials with triplet excited states under irradiation with near-IR light.

Series of Near-IR-Absorbing Transition Metal Complexes with Redox Active Ligands.

Project description:New soluble and intensely near-IR-absorbing transition metal (Ti, Zr, V, Ni) complexes were synthesized using a redox non-innocent N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tertbutyl-2-hydroxy-phenyl) -1,2-phenylenediamine (H4L) as a ligand precursor. In all the complexes, ([Ti(Lox)2, [Zr(Lox)2], [V(Lsq1)(HLox)] and [Ni(HLox)2], two organic molecules coordinate to the metal center as tri- or tetradentate ligands. The solid-state structures of the complexes were determined using single crystal XRD, and the compounds were further characterized with Electrospray Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS). Thermoanalytical measurements indicated the thermal stabilities of the complexes. All compounds absorb strongly in the near-IR region and show very interesting magnetic and electrochemical properties. Moreover, it was shown that the V and Ni complexes can also convert absorbed near-IR photons to (un)paired electrons, which indicates great promise in photovoltaic applications.

A Narrow-Band Multi-Resonant Metamaterial in Near-IR.

Project description:We theoretically investigate a multi-resonant plasmonic metamaterial perfect absorber operating between 600 and 950 nm wavelengths. The presented device generates 100% absorption at two resonance wavelengths and delivers an ultra-narrow band (sub-20 nm) and high quality factor (Q=44) resonance. The studied perfect absorber is a metal-insulator-metal configuration where a thin MgF2 spacer is sandwiched between an optically thick gold layer and uniformly patterned gold circular nanodisc antennas. The localized and propagating nature of the plasmonic resonances are characterized and confirmed theoretically. The origin of the perfect absorption is investigated using the impedance matching and critical coupling phenomenon. We calculate the effective impedance of the perfect absorber and confirm the matching with the free space impedance. We also investigate the scattering properties of the top antenna layer and confirm the minimized reflection at resonance wavelengths by calculating the absorption and scattering cross sections. The excitation of plasmonic resonances boost the near-field intensity by three orders of magnitude which enhances the interaction between the metamaterial surface and the incident energy. The refractive index sensitivity of the perfect absorber could go as high as S=500 nm/RIU. The presented optical characteristics make the proposed narrow-band multi-resonant perfect absorber a favorable platform for biosensing and contrast agent based bioimaging.

Design of Multimodal Absorption in the Mid-IR: A Metal Dielectric Metal Approach.

Project description:Specific control on the mid-infrared (mid-IR) emission properties is attracting increasing attention for thermal camouflage and passive cooling applications. Metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) structures are well known to support strong magnetic polariton resonances in the optical and near-infrared range. We extend the current understanding of such an MDM structure by specifically designing Au disc arrays on top of ZnS-Au-Si substrates and pushing their resonances to the mid-IR regime. Therefore, we combine fabrication via lift-off photolithography with the finite element method and an inductance-capacitance model. With this combination of techniques, we demonstrate that the magnetic polariton resonance of the first order strongly depends on the individual disc diameter. Furthermore, the fabrication of multiple discs within one unit cell allows a linear combination of the fundamental resonances to conceive broadband absorptance. Quite importantly, even in mixed resonator cases, the absorptance spectra can be fully described by a superposition of the individual disc properties. Our contribution provides rational guidance to deterministically design mid-IR emitting materials with specific narrow- or broadband properties.

Highly near-IR emissive ytterbium(iii) complexes with unprecedented quantum yields.

Project description:The design of highly near-infrared (NIR) emissive lanthanide (Ln) complexes is challenging, owing to the lack of molecular systems with a high sensitization efficiency and the difficulty of achieving a large intrinsic quantum yield. Previous studies have reported success in optimizing individual factors and achieving high overall quantum yields, with the best yield being 12% for Yb(iii). Herein we report a series of highly NIR emissive Yb complexes, in which the Yb is sandwiched between an octafluorinated porphyrinate antenna ligand and a deuterated Kläui ligand, which allowed optimization of two factors in the same system, and one of the complexes had an unprecedented quantum yield of 63% (estimated uncertainty 15%) in CD2Cl2 with a long lifetime (?obs) of 714 ?s. Systematic analysis of the structure-photophysical properties relationship suggested that porphyrinates are effective antenna ligands with a sensitization efficiency up to ca. 100% and that replacement of the high-energy C-H oscillators in porphyrinate and Kläui ligands significantly improves the intrinsic quantum yield up to 75% (?obs/?rad), both of which contribute to enhancing the NIR emission intensity of Yb(iii) up to 25-fold. Besides the high luminescence efficiency, these Yb complexes have other attractive features such as excitation in the visible range and large extinction coefficients which make these Yb(iii) complexes outstanding optical materials in the NIR region.

Pulsed Near-IR Photoresponse in a Bi-metal Contacted Graphene Photodetector.

Project description:We use an ultra-fast near-infrared pulse coincidence technique to study the time, temperature, and power dependence of the photoresponse of a bi-metal contacted graphene photodetector. We observe two components of the photovoltage signal. One component is gate-voltage dependent, linear in power at room temperature and sub-linear at low temperature-consistent with the hot-electron photothermoelectric effect due to absorption in the graphene. The power dependence is consistent with supercollision-dominated cooling in graphene. The other component is gate-voltage independent and linear in temperature and power, which we interpret as due to thermoelectricity of the metal electrodes due to differential light absorption.

Synthesis and Photophysical Properties of T-Shaped Coinage-Metal Complexes.

Project description:The photophysical properties of a series of T-shaped coinage d10 metal complexes, supported by a bis(mesoionic carbene)carbazolide (CNC) pincer ligand, are explored. The series includes a rare new example of a tridentate T-shaped AgI complex. Post-complexation modification of the AuI complex provides access to a linear cationic AuI complex following ligand alkylation, or the first example of a cationic square planar AuIII -F complex from electrophilic attack on the metal centre. Emissions ranging from blue (CuI ) to orange (AgI ) are obtained, with variable contributions of thermally-dependent fluorescence and phosphorescence to the observed photoluminescence. Green emissions are observed for all three gold complexes (neutral T-shaped AuI , cationic linear AuI and square planar cationic AuIII ). The higher quantum yield and longer decay lifetime of the linear gold(I) complex are indicative of increased phosphorescence contribution.

Metal Complexes for Two-Photon Photodynamic Therapy: A Cyclometallated Iridium Complex Induces Two-Photon Photosensitization of Cancer Cells under Near-IR Light.

Project description:Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses photosensitizers (PS) which only become cytotoxic upon light-irradiation. Transition-metal complexes are highly promising PS due to long excited-state lifetimes, and high photo-stabilities. However, these complexes usually absorb higher-energy UV/Vis light, whereas the optimal tissue transparency is in the lower-energy NIR region. Two-photon excitation (TPE) can overcome this dichotomy, with simultaneous absorption of two lower-energy NIR-photons populating the same PS-active excited state as one higher-energy photon. We introduce two low-molecular weight, long-lived and photo-stable iridium complexes of the [Ir(N^C)2 (N^N)]+ family with high TP-absorption, which localise to mitochondria and lysosomal structures in live cells. The compounds are efficient PS under 1-photon irradiation (405?nm) resulting in apoptotic cell death in diverse cancer cell lines at low light doses (3.6?J?cm-2 ), low concentrations, and photo-indexes greater than 555. Remarkably 1 also displays high PS activity killing cancer cells under NIR two-photon excitation (760?nm), which along with its photo-stability indicates potential future clinical application.

BODIPY-Bacteriochlorin Energy Transfer Arrays: Toward Near-IR Emitters with Broadly Tunable, Multiple Absorption Bands.

Project description:A series of energy transfer arrays, comprising a near-IR absorbing and emitting bacteriochlorin, and BODIPY derivatives with different absorption bands in the visible region (503-668 nm) have been synthesized. Absorption band of BODIPY was tuned by installation of 0, 1, or 2 styryl substituents [2-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)ethenyl], which leads to derivatives with absorption maxima at 503, 587, and 668 nm, respectively. Efficient energy transfer (>0.90) is observed for each dyad, which is manifested by nearly exclusive emission from bacteriochlorin moiety upon BODIPY excitation. Fluorescence quantum yield of each dyad in nonpolar solvent (toluene) is comparable with that observed for corresponding bacteriochlorin monomer, and is significantly reduced in solvent of high dielectric constants (DMF), most likely by photoinduced electron transfer. Given the availability of diverse BODIPY derivatives, with absorption between 500-700 nm, BODIPY-bacteriochlorin arrays should allow for construction of near-IR emitting agents with multiple and broadly tunable absorption bands. Solvent-dielectric constant dependence of ?f in dyads gives an opportunity to construct environmentally sensitive fluorophores and probes.

Quantum Chemical Design Guidelines for Absorption and Emission Color Tuning of fac-Ir(ppy)? Complexes.

Project description:The fac-Ir(ppy)? complex, where ppy denotes 2-phenylpyridine, is one of the well-known luminescent metal complexes having a high quantum yield. However, there have been no specific molecular design guidelines for color tuning. For example, it is still unclear how its optical properties are changed when changing substitution groups of ligands. Therefore, in this study, differences in the electronic structures and optical properties among several substituted fac-Ir(ppy)? derivatives are examined in detail by density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations. On the basis of those results, we present rational design guidelines for absorption and emission color tuning by modifying the species of substituents and their substitution positions.

Near-IR to Near-IR Upconversion Luminescence in Molecular Chromium Ytterbium Salts.

Project description:Upconversion photoluminescence in hetero-oligonuclear metal complex architectures featuring organic ligands is an interesting but still rarely observed phenomenon, despite its great potential from a basic research and application perspective. In this context, a new photonic material consisting of molecular chromium(III) and ytterbium(III) complex ions was developed that exhibits excitation-power density-dependent cooperative sensitization of the chromium-centered 2 E/2 T1 phosphorescence at approximately 775?nm after excitation of the ytterbium band 2 F7/2 ?2 F5/2 at approximately 980?nm in the solid state at ambient temperature. The upconversion process is insensitive to atmospheric oxygen and can be observed in the presence of water molecules in the crystal lattice.
