Example of an application for electronic spectroscopy in coordination compounds: Solar Energy Conversion
Synthesis of (dbbpy)Pt(dmid) (dbbpy)Pt(dmid)
(dbbpy)Pt(dmid) P-1 R1 = 0.03 dbbpy groups have empty p* orbitals ==> Strong MLCT absorptions
(dbbpy)Pt(dmid) (dbbpy)Pt(dmid) + TCNQ [(dbbpy)Pt(dmid)][TCNQ]
[(dbbpy)Pt(dmid)]2[TCNQ] 3.50 3.76 3.54 Presence of TCNQ reduces Pt-Pt distances and changes the electronic structure ==> Stronger CT absorptions
Re2Cl4(dppm)2TCNQ Packing Diagram
TCNQ Cplxs.: • Very strong CT absorptions • Lower energy Only d-d transitions (very weak)
