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.
