Abstract
Detailed photophysical investigation of a Mn(IV)-carbene complex has revealed that excitation into its lowest-energy absorption band (∼500 nm) results in the formation of an energetic ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) state with a lifetime of 15 ns. To the best of our knowledge, this is the longest lifetime reported for charge-transfer states of first-row-based transition metal complexes in solution, barring those based on Cu, with a d10 configuration. A so-called superoxidant, Mn(IV)-carbene exhibits an excited state potential typically only harnessed via excited states of reactive organic radical species. Furthermore, the long-lived excited state in this case is found to be a dark doublet, with its transition to the quartet ground state being spin-forbidden, a contrast to most first-row literature examples, and a possible cause of the long lifetime. Showcasing excited state properties which in some cases exceed those of complexes based on precious metals, these findings not only advance the library of earth-abundant photosensitizers but also shed general insight into the photophysics of d3 and related Mn complexes.

Abstract
Manganese complexes stand out as promising candidates for photocatalyst design, attributed to their eco- and biocompatibility, versatile valence states, and capability for facilitating multiple electronic excitations. However, several intrinsic constraints, such as inadequate visible light response and short excited-state lifetimes, hinder effective photoinduced electron transfer and impede photoredox activation of substrates. To overcome this obstacle, we have developed a class of manganese complexes featuring boron-incorporated N-heterocyclic carbene ligands. These complexes enable prolonged excited-state durations encapsulating both Mn(IV) and Mn(III) oxidation stages, with lifetimes reaching microseconds for Mn(IV) and nanoseconds for Mn(III), concurrently exhibiting robust redox capabilities. They efficiently catalyze direct, site-selective cross-couplings between diverse arenes and aryl bromides, at a low catalyst loading of 0.5 mol %. Their proficiency spans an extensive array of substrates including both highly electron-rich and electron-deficient molecules, which underscore the superior performance of these manganese complexes in tackling intricate transformations. Furthermore, the versatility of these complexes is further highlighted by their successful applications in various photochemical transformations, encompassing reductive cross-couplings for the formation of C-P, C-B, C-S and C-Se bonds, alongside oxidative couplings for creating C-N bonds. This study sheds light on the distinctive photoredox properties and the remarkable catalytic flexibility of manganese complexes, highlighting their immense potential to drive progress in photochemical synthesis and green chemistry applications.

Abstract
The burgeoning field of quantum sensing hinges on the creation and control of quantum bits. To date, the most well-studied quantum sensors are optically active, paramagnetic defects residing in crystalline hosts. We previously developed analogous optically addressable molecules featuring a ground-state spin-triplet centered on a Cr4+ ion with an optical-spin interface. In this work, we evaluate isovalent V3+ and Mo4+ congeners, which offer unique advantages, such as an intrinsic nuclear spin for V3+ or larger spin-orbit coupling for Mo4+, as optically addressable spin systems. We assess the ground-state spin structure and dynamics for each complex, illustrating that all of these spin-triplet species can be coherently controlled. However, unlike the Cr4+ derivatives, these pseudo-tetrahedral V3+ and Mo4+ complexes exhibit no measurable emission. Coupling absorption spectroscopy with computational predictions, we investigate why these complexes exhibit no detectable photoluminescence. These cumulative results suggest that design of future V3+ complexes should target pseudo-tetrahedral symmetries using bidentate or tridentate ligand scaffolds, ideally with deuterated or fluorinated ligand environments. We also suggest that spin-triplet Mo4+, and by extension W4+, complexes may not be suitable candidate optically addressable qubit systems due to their low energy spin-singlet states. By understanding the failures and successes of these systems, we outline additional design features for optically addressable V- or Mo-based molecules to expand the library of tailor-made quantum sensors.

Abstract
Complete or partial replacement of well-known five-membered chelating 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands with analogous didentate 2,2'-biimidazole (H2biim) provides novel perspectives for exploiting the latter pH-tuneable bridging unit for connecting inert trivalent chromium with cationic partners. The most simple homoleptic complex [Cr(H2biim)3]3+ and its stepwise deprotonated analogues are only poorly soluble in most solvents and their characterization is limited to some solid-state structures, in which the pseudo-octahedral [CrN6] units are found to be intermolecularly connected via peripheral N-H⋯X hydrogen bonds. Moreover, the associated high-energy stretching N-H vibrations drastically quench the targeted near infrared (NIR) CrIII-based phosphorescence, which makes these homoleptic building blocks incompatible with the design of molecular-based luminescent assemblies. Restricting the number of bound 2,2'-biimidazole ligands to a single unit in the challenging heteroleptic [Cr(phen)2(Hxbiim)](1+x)+ (x = 2-0) complexes overcomes the latter limitations and allows (i) the synthesis and characterization of these [CrN6] chromophores in the solid state and in solution, (ii) the stepwise and controlled deprotonation of the bound 2,2'-biimidazole ligand and (iii) the implementation of Cr-centered phosphorescence with energies, lifetimes and quantum yields adapted for using the latter chromophores as sensitizers in promising 'complex-as-ligand' strategies.

Abstract
There has been much progress on mononuclear chromium(III) complexes featuring luminescence and photoredox activity, but dinuclear chromium(III) complexes have remained underexplored in these contexts until now. We identified a tridentate chelate ligand able to accommodate both meridional and facial coordination of chromium(III), to either access a mono- or a dinuclear chromium(III) complex depending on reaction conditions. This chelate ligand causes tetragonally distorted primary coordination spheres around chromium(III) in both complexes, entailing comparatively short excited-state lifetimes in the range of 400 to 800 ns in solution at room temperature and making photoluminescence essentially oxygen insensitive. The two chromium(III) ions in the dimer experience ferromagnetic exchange interactions that result in a high spin (S=3) ground state with a coupling constant of +9.3 cm-1. Photoinduced energy transfer from the luminescent ferromagnetically coupled dimer to an anthracene derivative results in sensitized triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion. Based on these proof-of-principle studies, dinuclear chromium(III) complexes seem attractive for the development of fundamentally new types of photophysics and photochemistry enabled by magnetic exchange interactions.

Abstract
Highly reducing or oxidizing photocatalysts are a fundamental challenge in photochemistry. Only a few transition metal complexes with Earth-abundant metal ions have so far advanced to excited state oxidants. All these photocatalysts require high-energy light for excitation, and their oxidizing power has not been fully exploited due to energy dissipation before reaching the photoactive state. Here we demonstrate that the complex [Mn(dgpy)2]4+, based on Earth-abundant manganese and the tridentate 2,6-diguanidylpyridine ligand (dgpy), evolves to a luminescent doublet ligand-to-metal charge transfer (2LMCT) excited state (1,435 nm, 0.86 eV) with a lifetime of 1.6 ns after excitation with low-energy near-infrared light. This 2LMCT state oxidizes naphthalene to its radical cation. Substrates with extremely high oxidation potentials up to 2.4 V enable the [Mn(dgpy)2]4+ photoreduction via a high-energy quartet 4LMCT excited state with a lifetime of 0.78 ps, proceeding via static quenching by the solvent. This process minimizes free energy losses and harnesses the full photooxidizing power, and thus allows oxidation of nitriles and benzene using Earth-abundant elements and low-energy light.

Abstract
A series of photosensitizers comprised of both an inorganic and an organic chromophore are investigated in a joint synthetic, spectroscopic, and theoretical study. This bichromophoric design strategy provides a means by which to significantly increase the excited state lifetime by isolating the excited state away from the metal center following intersystem crossing. A variable bridging group is incorporated between the donor and acceptor units of the organic chromophore, and its influence on the excited state properties is explored. The Franck-Condon (FC) photophysics and subsequent excited state relaxation pathways are investigated with a suite of steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques in combination with scalar-relativistic quantum chemical calculations. It is demonstrated that the presence of an electronically conducting bridge that facilitates donor-acceptor communication is vital to generate long-lived (32 to 45 μs), charge-separated states with organic character. In contrast, when an insulating 1,2,3-triazole bridge is used, the excited state properties are dominated by the inorganic chromophore, with a notably shorter lifetime of 60 ns. This method of extending the lifetime of a molecular photosensitizer is, therefore, of interest for a range of molecular electronic devices and photophysical applications.

Abstract
The interest in Cr(III) complexes has been renewed over the past decades for building practical guidelines in the design of efficient earth-abundant phosphorescent near-infrared emitters. In that context, we report the first family of homoleptic tri(didentate) Cr(III) complexes [CrL3]3+ based on polyaromatic ligands inducing 6-membered chelate rings, namely, the bis(1-methylimidazol-2-yl)ketone (L = bik), bis(1-methylimidazol-2-yl)methane (L = bim), and bis(1-methylimidazol-2-yl)ethane (L = bie) ligands. The programmed close-to-perfect octahedral microsymmetry of {CrIIIN6} chromophores found in [Cr(bik)3](OTf)3 (1), [Cr(bim)3](OTf)3 (2), and [Cr(bie)3](BF4)3 (3) ensures a ligand-field strength large enough to induce intense and long-lived Cr-based phosphorescence. Impressive excited-state lifetimes (5.0-8.2 ms) were obtained at low temperatures for the [Cr(L)3]3+ series. Additionally, the photoluminescent quantum yield climbs to 0.8% for compound 1 in deaerated solutions. Moreover, the photophysical features of the three homoleptic complexes are barely influenced by the presence of dioxygen presumably because of the poor overlap between the Cr-based phosphorescence spectra (ca. 14100 cm-1) and the 1Σg+ ← 3Σg- transition in the absorption spectrum of dioxygen (13100 cm-1). The multiredox electrochemical pattern of 1 is evidenced by cyclic voltammetry as well as its strong photooxidant behavior. The pH sensitivity of 2 and 3 luminescence is discussed, along with the reactivity of their β-diketiminate derivatives.

Abstract
Harnessing sunlight via photosensitizing molecules is key for novel optical applications and solar-to-chemical energy conversion. Exploiting abundant metals such as iron is attractive but becomes challenging due to typically fast nonradiative relaxation processes. In this work, we report on the luminescence and excited-state reactivity of the heteroleptic [FeIII(pzTp)(CN)3]- complex (pzTp = tetrakis(pyrazolyl)borate), which incorporates a σ-donating trispyrazolyl chelate ligand and three monodentate σ-donating and π-accepting cyanide ligands. Contrary to the nonemissive [Fe(CN)6]3-, a broad emission band centered at 600 nm at room temperature has been recorded for the heteroleptic analogue attributed to the radiative deactivation from a 2LMCT excited state with a luminescence quantum yield of 0.02% and a lifetime of 80 ps in chloroform at room temperature. Bimolecular reactivity of the 2LMCT excited state was successfully applied to different alcohol photo-oxidation, identifying a cyanide-H bonding as a key reaction intermediate. Finally, this research demonstrated the exciting potential of [Fe(pzTp)(CN)3]- as a photo-oxidant, paving the way for further exploration and development of emissive Fe-based photosensitizers competent for photochemical transformations.

Abstract
Complexes that undergo ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) to d0 metals are of interest as possible photocatalysts. Cp2Ti(C2Ph)2 (where C2Ph = phenylethynyl) was reported to be weakly emissive in room-temperature (RT) fluid solution from its phenylethynyl-to-Ti 3LMCT state but readily photodecomposes. Coordination of CuX between the alkyne ligands to give Cp2Ti(C2Ph)2CuX (X = Cl, Br) has been shown to significantly increase the photostability, but such complexes are not emissive in RT solution. Herein, we investigate whether inhibition of alkyne-Ti-alkyne bond compression might be responsible for the increased photostability of the CuX complexes by investigating the decomposition of a structurally constrained analogue, Cp2Ti(OBET) (OBET = o-bis(ethynyl)tolane). To investigate the mechanism of nonradiative decay from the 3LMCT states in Cp2Ti(C2Ph)2CuX, the photophysical properties were investigated both upon deuteration and upon rigidifying in a poly(methyl methacrylate) film. These investigations suggested that inhibition of structural rearrangement may play a dominant role in increasing emission lifetimes and quantum yields. The bulkier Cp*2Ti(C2Ph)2CuBr was prepared and is emissive at 693 nm in RT THF solution with a photoluminescent quantum yield of 1.3 × 10-3 (τ = 0.18 μs). Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations suggest that emission occurs from a 3LMCT state dominated by Cp*-to-Ti charge transfer.

Abstract
Recently, the low-dimensional organic-inorganic halide perovskites (OIHP) have been exploited heavily for their favorable exciton dynamics, broad-band emission, remarkable stability, and tunable band-edge excited-state energy compared to their 3D counterparts for potential optoelectronic applications. Low-dimensional perovskites are generally good candidates for utilization as room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) materials. Further, doping divalent transition metals like Mn2+ into OIHP is expected to introduce a 4T1-6A1-based low-energy luminescence emission around 600 nm; an optical property that is favorable for biomedical optoelectronics. Doping Mn2+ in the perovskite lattice is also expected to induce the generation of cytotoxic singlet oxygen species (1O2), a ROS that is being exploited for various therapeutic applications. To integrate these optical and therapeutic properties of a 2D (PEA)2PbBr4 (Pb PeV; PEA = phenylethylammonium cation) perovskite alloyed with Mn2+ ions (Mn:PbPeV) and the option for a photoinduced energy transfer process involving a Cr(III)-based 1O2 generating photosensitizer (CrPS), we designed a unique purpose-built nanoassembly (Mn:PbPeV@PCD) using the encapsulation properties of a water-soluble polymer derived from β-cyclodextrin (PCD). Here the PCD is observed to modulate the classical internal energy transfer of Pb2+ exciton to alloyed Mn2+ orange emission, resulting in the emergence of a new blue emission. The addition of CrPS into the Mn:PbPeV@PCD to generate the CrPS@Mn:PbPeV@PCD assembly results in restoring perovskite luminescence followed by the external energy transfer to CrPS. We have elucidated the mechanism of these cascade energy transfer processes between multiple components using steady-state and time-resolved luminescence techniques. Efficient ROS generation and its potential to induce an oxidation reaction of a biomolecule are realized using guanine as the target molecule. Further photoinduced cleavage studies with biomolecules confirmed the efficacy of the nanoassembly in inducing the cleavage of guanine-rich DNA. The study opens up a new direction in the field of perovskite for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Examples of Fe complexes with long-lived (≥1 ns) charge-transfer states are limited to pseudo-octahedral geometries with strong σ-donor chelates. Alternative strategies based on varying both coordination motifs and ligand donicity are highly desirable. Reported herein is an air-stable, tetragonal FeII complex, Fe(HMTI)(CN)2 (HMTI = 5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-1,3,8,10-tetraene), with a 1.25 ns metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) lifetime. The structure has been determined, and the photophysical properties have been examined in a variety of solvents. The HMTI ligand is highly π-acidic due to low-lying π*(C═N), which enhances ΔFe via stabilizing t2g orbitals. The inflexible geometry of the macrocycle results in short Fe-N bonds, and density functional theory calculations show that this rigidity results in an unusual set of nested potential energy surfaces. Moreover, the lifetime and energy of the MLCT state depends strongly on the solvent environment. This dependence is caused by modulation of the axial ligand-field strength by Lewis acid-base interactions between the solvent and the cyano ligands. This work represents the first example of a long-lived charge transfer state in an FeII macrocyclic species.

Abstract
One recent experimental study reported a Ir(III) complex with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) phenomenon in solution, but its luminescent mechanism is elusive. In this work, we combined density functional theory (DFT), time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) and multi-state complete active space second-order perturbation theory (MS-CASPT2) methods to investigate excited-state properties, photophysics, and emission mechanism of this Ir(III) complex. Two main absorption bands observed in experiments can be attributed to the electronic transition from the S0 state to the S1 and S2 states; while, the fluorescence and phosphorescence are generated from the S1 and T1 states, respectively. Both the S1 and T1 states have clear metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) character. The present computational results reveal a three-state model including the S0, S1 and T1 states to rationalize the TADF behavior. The small energy gap between the S1 and T1 states benefits the forward and reverse intersystem crossing (ISC and rISC) processes. At 300 K, the rISC rate is five orders of magnitude larger than the phosphorescence rate therefore enabling TADF. At 77 K, the rISC rate is sharply decreased but remains close to the phosphorescence rate; therefore, in addition to the phosphorescence, the delayed fluorescence could also contribute to the experimental emission. The estimated TADF lifetime agrees well with experiments, 9.80 vs. 6.67 μs, which further verifies this three-state model.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) used for treating cancer relies on the generation of highly reactive oxygen species, for example, singlet oxygen 1 O2 , by light-induced excitation of a photosensitizer (PS) in the presence of molecular oxygen, inducing DNA damage in close proximity of the PS. Although many precious metal complexes have been explored as PS for PDT and received clinical approval, only recently, the potential of photoactive complexes of non-noble metals as PS has been discovered. Using the DNA origami technology that can absolutely quantify DNA strand break cross sections, we assessed the potential of the luminescent transition metal complex [Cr(ddpd)2 ]3+ (ddpd=N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-dipyridine-2-ylpyridine-2,6-diamine) to damage DNA in an air-saturated aqueous environment upon UV/Vis illumination. The quantum yield for strand breakage, that is, the ratio of DNA strand breaks to the number of absorbed photons, was determined to 1-4 %, indicating efficient transformation of photons into DNA strand breaks by [Cr(ddpd)2 ]3+ .

Abstract
Many CuI complexes have luminescent triplet charge-transfer excited states with diverse applications in photophysics and photochemistry, but for isoelectronic ZnII compounds, this behavior is much less common, and they typically only show ligand-based fluorescence from singlet π-π* states. We report two closely related tetrahedral ZnII compounds, in which intersystem crossing occurs with appreciable quantum yields and leads to the population of triplet excited states with intraligand charge-transfer (ILCT) character. In addition to showing fluorescence from their initially excited 1ILCT states, these new compounds therefore undergo triplet-triplet energy transfer (TTET) from their 3ILCT states and consequently can act as sensitizers for photo-isomerization reactions and triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion from the blue to the ultraviolet spectral range. The photoactive 3ILCT state furthermore facilitates photoinduced electron transfer. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that mononuclear ZnII compounds with photophysical and photochemical properties reminiscent of well-known CuI complexes are accessible with suitable ligands and that they are potentially amenable to many different applications. Our insights seem relevant in the greater context of obtaining photoactive compounds based on abundant transition metals, complementing well-known precious-metal-based luminophores and photosensitizers.

Abstract
The chromium(III) polypyridyl complexes are appealing for their long-lived near-infrared (NIR) emission reaching the millisecond range and for the strong circularly polarized luminescence of their isolated enantiomers. However, harnessing those properties in functional polynuclear CrIII devices remains mainly inaccessible because of the lack of synthetic methods for their design and functionalization. Even the preparation and investigation of most basic nonsymmetrical CrIII dyads exhibiting directional intramolecular intermetallic energy transfer remain unexplored. Taking advantage of the inertness of heteroleptic chromium(III) polypyridyl building blocks, we herein adapt the "complex-as-ligand" strategy, largely used with precious 4d and 5d metals, for the preparation of a binuclear nonsymmetrical CrIII complex (3d metal). The resulting [(phen)2Cr(L)Cr(tpy)]6+ dyad shows dual long-lived NIR emission and a directional intermetallic energy transfer that is controlled by the specific arrangements of the different coordination spheres. This strategy opens a route for building predetermined polynuclear assemblies with this earth-abundant metal.

Abstract
Transition-metal complexes that undergo ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) to d0 metals are of interest as possible photocatalysts due to the lack of deactivating d-d states. Herein, the synthesis and characterization of nine titanocene complexes of the formula Cp2Ti(C2Ar)2·MX (where Ar = phenyl, dimethylaniline, or triphenylamine; and MX = CuCl, CuBr, or AgCl) are presented. Solid-state structural characterization demonstrates that MX coordinates to the alkyne tweezers and CuX coordination has a greater structural impact than AgCl. All complexes, including the parent complexes without coordinated MX, are brightly emissive at 77 K (emission max between 575 and 767 nm), with the coordination of MX redshifting the emission in all cases except for the coordination of AgCl into Cp2Ti(C2Ph)2. TDDFT investigations suggest that emission is dominated by arylalkynyl-to-titanium 3LMCT in all cases except Cp2Ti(C2Ph)2·CuBr, which is dominated by CuBr-to-Ti charge transfer. In room-temperature fluid solution, only Cp2Ti(C2Ph)2 and Cp2Ti(C2Ph)2·AgCl are emissive, albeit with photoluminescent quantum yields ≤2 × 10-4. The parent complexes photodecompose in room-temperature solution with quantum yields, Φrxn, between 0.25 and 0.99. The coordination of MX decreases Φrxn by two to three orders of magnitude. There is a clear trend that Φrxn increases as the emission energy increases. This trend is consistent with a competition between energy-gap-law controlled nonradiative decay and thermally activated intersystem crossing between the 3LMCT state and the singlet transition state for decomposition.

Abstract
Sensitized triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (sTTA-UC) mainly relies on precious metal complexes thanks to their high intersystem crossing (ISC) efficiencies, excited state energies, and lifetimes, while complexes of abundant first-row transition metals are only rarely utilized and with often moderate UC quantum yields. [Cr(bpmp)2 ]3+ (bpmp=2,6-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)pyridine) containing earth-abundant chromium possesses an absorption band suitable for green light excitation, a doublet excited state energy matching the triplet energy of 9,10-diphenyl anthracene (DPA), a close to millisecond excited state lifetime, and high photostability. Combined ISC and doublet-triplet energy transfer from excited [Cr(bpmp)2 ]3+ to DPA gives 3 DPA with close-to-unity quantum yield. TTA of 3 DPA furnishes green-to-blue UC with a quantum yield of 12.0 % (close to the theoretical maximum). Sterically less-hindered anthracenes undergo a [4+4] cycloaddition with [Cr(bpmp)2 ]3+ and green light.

Abstract
![]()
Many organometallic
iridium(III) complexes have photoactive excited
states with mixed metal-to-ligand and intraligand charge transfer
(MLCT/ILCT) character, which form the basis for numerous applications
in photophysics and photochemistry. Cobalt(III) complexes with analogous
MLCT excited-state properties seem to be unknown yet, despite the
fact that iridium(III) and cobalt(III) can adopt identical low-spin
d6 valence electron configurations due to their close chemical
relationship. Using a rigid tridentate chelate ligand (LCNC), in which a central amido π-donor is flanked by two σ-donating
N-heterocyclic carbene subunits, we obtained a robust homoleptic complex
[Co(LCNC)2](PF6), featuring a photoactive
excited state with substantial MLCT character. Compared to the vast
majority of isoelectronic iron(II) complexes, the MLCT state of [Co(LCNC)2](PF6) is long-lived because it
does not deactivate as efficiently into lower-lying metal-centered
excited states; furthermore, it engages directly in photoinduced electron
transfer reactions. The comparison with [Fe(LCNC)2](PF6), as well as structural, electrochemical, and UV–vis
transient absorption studies, provides insight into new ligand design
principles for first-row transition-metal complexes with photophysical
and photochemical properties reminiscent of those known from the platinum
group metals.

Abstract
![]()
Cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes are frequently employed in
organic light emitting diodes, and they are popular photocatalysts
for solar energy conversion and synthetic organic chemistry. They
luminesce from redox-active excited states that can have high triplet
energies and long lifetimes, making them well suited for energy transfer
and photoredox catalysis. Homoleptic tris(cyclometalated) iridium(III)
complexes are typically very hydrophobic and do not dissolve well
in polar solvents, somewhat limiting their application scope. We developed
a family of water-soluble sulfonate-decorated variants with tailored
redox potentials and excited-state energies to address several key
challenges in aqueous photochemistry. First, we aimed at combining
enzyme with photoredox catalysis to
synthesize enantioenriched products in a cyclic reaction network.
Since the employed biocatalyst operates best in aqueous solution,
a water-soluble photocatalyst was needed. A new tris(cyclometalated)
iridium(III) complex provided enough reducing power for the photochemical
reduction of imines to racemic mixtures of amines and furthermore
was compatible with monoamine oxidase (MAO-N-9), which deracemized
this mixture through a kinetic resolution of the racemic amine via
oxidation to the corresponding imine. This process led to the accumulation
of the unreactive amine enantiomer over time. In subsequent studies,
we discovered that the same iridium(III) complex photoionizes under
intense irradiation to give hydrated electrons as a result of consecutive
two-photon excitation. With visible light as energy input, hydrated
electrons become available in a catalytic fashion, thereby allowing
the comparatively mild reduction of substrates that would typically
only be reactive under harsher conditions. Finally, we became interested
in photochemical upconversion in aqueous solution, for which it was
desirable to obtain water-soluble iridium(III) compounds with very
high triplet excited-state energies. This goal was achieved through
improved ligand design and ultimately enabled sensitized triplet–triplet
annihilation upconversion unusually far into the ultraviolet spectral
range. Studies of photoredox catalysis, energy transfer catalysis,
and
photochemical upconversion typically rely on the use of organic solvents.
Water could potentially be an attractive alternative in many cases,
but photocatalyst development lags somewhat behind for aqueous solution
compared to organic solvent. The purpose of this Account is to provide
an overview of the breadth of new research perspectives that emerged
from the development of water-soluble fac-[Ir(ppy)]3 complexes (ppy = 2-phenylpyridine) with sulfonated ligands.
We hope to inspire the use of some of these or related coordination
compounds in aqueous photochemistry and to stimulate further conceptual
developments at the interfaces of coordination chemistry, photophysics,
biocatalysis, and sustainable chemistry.

Abstract
The substitution of three water molecules around trivalent chromium in CrBr3·6H2O with the tridentate 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (tpy), N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-di(pyridine-2-yl)pyridine-2,6-diamine (ddpd) or 2,6-di(quinolin-8-yl)pyridine (dqp) ligands gives the heteroleptic mer-[Cr(L)Br3] complexes. Stepwise treatments with Ag(CF3SO3) and KCN under microwave irradiations provide mer-[Cr(L)(CN)3] in moderate yields. According to their X-ray crystal structures, the associated six-coordinate meridional [CrN3C3] chromophores increasingly deviate from a pseudo-octahedral arrangement according to L = ddpd ≈ dpq ≪ tpy; a trend in line with the replacement of six-membered with five-membered chelate rings around CrIII. Room-temperature ligand-centered UV-excitation at 18 170 cm−1 (λexc = 350 nm), followed by energy transfer and intersystem crossing eventually yield microsecond metal-centered Cr(2E → 4A2) phosphorescence in the red to near infrared domain 13 150–12 650 cm−1 (760 ≤ λem ≤ 790 nm). Decreasing the temperature to liquid nitrogen (77 K) extends the emission lifetimes to reach the millisecond regime with a record of 4.02 ms for mer-[Cr(dqp)(CN)3] in frozen acetonitrile. The heteroleptic mer-[Cr(L)(CN)3] (L = tpy, ddpd, dqp) complexes with their C2v-symmetrical [CrC3N3] luminescent chromophores represent the missing links between pseudo-octahedral [CrN6] and [CrC6] units found in their well-known homoleptic parents.![]()

Abstract
In molecular photochemistry, charge-transfer emission is well understood and widely exploited. In contrast, luminescent metal-centered transitions only came into focus in recent years. This gave rise to strongly phosphorescent CrIII complexes with a d3 electronic configuration featuring luminescent metal-centered excited states which are characterized by the flip of a single spin. These so-called spin-flip emitters possess unique properties and require different design strategies than traditional charge-transfer phosphors. In this review, we give a brief introduction to ligand field theory as a framework to understand this phenomenon and outline prerequisites for efficient spin-flip emission including ligand field strength, symmetry, intersystem crossing and common deactivation pathways using CrIII complexes as instructive examples. The recent progress and associated challenges of tuning the energies of emissive excited states and of emerging applications of the unique photophysical properties of spin-flip emitters are discussed. Finally, we summarize the current state-of-the-art and challenges of spin-flip emitters beyond CrIII with d2, d3, d4 and d8 electronic configuration, where we mainly cover pseudooctahedral molecular complexes of V, Mo, W, Mn, Re and Ni, and highlight possible future research opportunities.

Abstract
With the upcoming trend of Big Data era, some new types of memory technologies have emerged as substitutes for the traditional Si-based semiconductor memory devices, which are encountering severe scaling down technical obstacles. In particular, the resistance random access memory (RRAM) and magnetic random access memory (MRAM) hold great promise for the in-memory computing, which are regarded as the optimal strategy and pathway to solve the von Neumann bottleneck by high-throughput in situ data processing. As far as the active materials in RRAM and MRAM are concerned, organic semiconducting materials have shown increasing application perspectives in memory devices due to their rich structural diversity and solution processability. With the introduction of metal elements into the backbone of molecules, some new properties and phenomena will emerge accordingly. Consequently, the RRAM and MRAM devices based on metal-containing organic compounds (including the small molecular metal complexes, metallopolymers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskites (OIHPs)) have been widely explored and attracted intense attention. In this review, we highlight the fundamentals of RRAM and MRAM, as well as the research progress of the applications of metal-containing organic compounds in both RRAM and MRAM. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future directions for the research of organic RRAM and MRAM.

Abstract
Controlling the order and lifetimes of electronically excited states is essential to effective light-to-potential energy conversion by molecular chromophores. This work reports a luminescent and photoreactive iron(II) complex, the first performant group homologue of prototypical sensitizers of ruthenium. Double cyclometalation of a phenylphenanthroline framework at iron(II) favors the population of a triplet metal-to-ligand charge transfer (3MLCT) state as the lowest energy excited state. Near-infrared (NIR) luminescence exhibits a monoexponential decay with τ = 2.4 ns in the solid state and 1 ns in liquid phase. Lifetimes of 14 ns at 77 K are in line with a narrowing of the NIR emission band at λem,max = 1170-1230 nm. Featuring a 3MLCT excited-state redox potential of -2 V vs the ferrocene/ferrocenium couple, the use of the Fe(II) chromophore as a sensitizer for light-driven synthesis is exemplified by the radical cross-coupling of 4-chlorobromobenzene and benzene.

Abstract
Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites providing integrated functionalities for multimodal switching applications are widely sought-after materials for optoelectronics. Here, we embark on a study of a novel pyrrolidinium-based cyanide perovskite of formula (C4H10N)2KCr(CN)6, which displays thermally driven bimodal switching characteristics associated with an order-disorder phase transition. Dielectric switching combines two features important from an application standpoint: high permittivity contrast (Δε' = 38.5) and very low dielectric losses. Third-order nonlinear optical switching takes advantage of third-harmonic generation (THG) bistability, thus far unprecedented for perovskites and coordination polymers. Structurally, (C4H10N)2KCr(CN)6 stands out as the first example of a three-dimensional stable perovskite among formate-, azide-, and cyanide-based metal-organic frameworks comprising large pyrrolidinium cations. Its stability, reflected also in robust switching characteristics, has been tracked down to the Cr3+ component, the ionic radius of which provides a large enough metal-cyanide cage for the pyrrolidinium cargo. While the presence of polar pyrrolidinium cations leads to excellent switchable dielectric properties, the presence of Cr3+ is also responsible for efficient phosphorescence, which is remarkably shifted to the near-infrared region (770 to 880 nm). The presence of Cr3+ was also found indispensable to the THG switching functionality. It is also found that a closely related cobalt-based analogue doped with Cr3+ ions displays distinct near-infrared phosphorescence as well. Thus, doping with Cr3+ ions is an effective strategy to introduce phosphorescence as an additional functional property into the family of cobalt-cyanide thermally switchable dielectrics.

Abstract
The inherent atomistic precision of synthetic chemistry enables bottom-up structural control over quantum bits, or qubits, for quantum technologies. Tuning paramagnetic molecular qubits that feature optical-spin initialization and readout is a crucial step toward designing bespoke qubits for applications in quantum sensing, networking, and computing. Here, we demonstrate that the electronic structure that enables optical-spin initialization and readout for S = 1, Cr(aryl)4, where aryl = 2,4-dimethylphenyl (1), o-tolyl (2), and 2,3-dimethylphenyl (3), is readily translated into Cr(alkyl)4 compounds, where alkyl = 2,2,2-triphenylethyl (4), (trimethylsilyl)methyl (5), and cyclohexyl (6). The small ground state zero field splitting values (<5 GHz) for 1-6 allowed for coherent spin manipulation at X-band microwave frequency, enabling temperature-, concentration-, and orientation-dependent investigations of the spin dynamics. Electronic absorption and emission spectroscopy confirmed the desired electronic structures for 4-6, which exhibit photoluminescence from 897 to 923 nm, while theoretical calculations elucidated the varied bonding interactions of the aryl and alkyl Cr4+ compounds. The combined experimental and theoretical comparison of Cr(aryl)4 and Cr(alkyl)4 systems illustrates the impact of the ligand field on both the ground state spin structure and excited state manifold, laying the groundwork for the design of structurally precise optically addressable molecular qubits.

Abstract
Precious and rare elements have traditionally dominated inorganic photophysics and photochemistry, but now we are witnessing a paradigm shift toward cheaper and more abundant metals. Even though emissive complexes based on selected first-row transition metals have long been known, recent conceptual breakthroughs revealed that a much broader range of elements in different oxidation states are useable for this purpose. Coordination compounds of V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu now show electronically excited states with unexpected reactivity and photoluminescence behavior. Aside from providing a compact survey of the recent conceptual key advances in this dynamic field, our Perspective identifies the main design strategies that enabled the discovery of fundamentally new types of 3d-metal-based luminophores and photosensitizers operating in solution at room temperature.

Abstract
The combination of π-donating amido with π-accepting pyridine coordination units in a tridentate chelate ligand causes a strong nephelauxetic effect in a homoleptic CrIII complex, which shifts its luminescence to the NIR-II spectral range. Previously explored CrIII polypyridine complexes typically emit between 727 and 778 nm (in the red to NIR-I spectral region), and ligand design strategies have so far concentrated on optimizing the ligand field strength. The present work takes a fundamentally different approach and focusses on increasing metal-ligand bond covalence to shift the ruby-like 2 E emission of CrIII to 1067 nm at 77 K.

Abstract
There is a long-standing interest in iron(II) complexes that emit from metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited states, analogous to ruthenium(II) polypyridines. The 3d6 electrons of iron(II) are exposed to a relatively weak ligand field, rendering nonradiative relaxation of MLCT states via metal-centered excited states undesirably efficient. For isoelectronic chromium(0), chelating diisocyanide ligands recently provided access to very weak MLCT emission in solution at room temperature. Here, we present a concept that boosts the luminescence quantum yield of a chromium(0) isocyanide complex by nearly 2 orders of magnitude, accompanied by a significant increase of the MLCT lifetime. Pyrene units in the diisocyanide ligand backbone lead to an enlarged π-conjugation system and to a strongly delocalized MLCT state, from which nonradiative relaxation is less dominant despite a sizable redshift of the emission. While the pyrene moiety is electronically coupled to the core of the chromium(0) complex in the excited state, UV-vis absorption and 2D NMR spectroscopy show that this is not the case in the ground state. Luminescence lifetimes and quantum yields for our pyrenyl-decorated chromium(0) complex exhibit an unusual bell-shaped dependence on solvent polarity, indicative of two counteracting effects governing the MLCT deactivation. These two effects are identified as predominant deactivation either through an energetically nearby lying metal-centered state in the most apolar solvents, or alternatively via direct nonradiative relaxation to the ground state following the energy gap law in more polar solvents. This is the first example of a 3d6 MLCT emitter to benefit from an increased π-conjugation network.

Abstract
Complexes with ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) excited states involving d0 metals represent a new design for photocatalysts. Herein, the photochemistry and photophysics of d0 titanocenes of the type Cp2Ti(C2R)2, where C2R = ethynylphenyl (C2Ph), 4-ethynyldimethylaniline (C2DMA), or 4-ethynyltriphenylamine (C2TPA), have been investigated. Cp2Ti(C2Ph)2 and Cp2Ti(C2DMA)2 have also been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The two aryl rings in Cp2Ti(C2DMA)2 are nearly face-to-face in the solid state, whereas they are mutually perpendicular for Cp2Ti(C2Ph)2. All three complexes are brightly emissive at 77 K but photodecompose at room temperature when irradiated into their lowest-energy absorption band. The emission wavelengths and photodecomposition quantum yields are as follows: Cp2Ti(C2Ph)2, 575 nm and 0.65; Cp2Ti(C2TPA)2, 642 nm and 0.42; Cp2Ti(C2DMA)2, 672 nm and 0.25. Extensive benchmarking of the density functional theory (DFT) model against the structural data and of the time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) model against the absorption and emission data was performed using combinations of 13 different functionals and 4 basis sets. The model that predicted the absorption and emission data with the greatest fidelity utilized MN15/LANL2DZ for both the DFT optimization and the TDDFT. Computational analysis shows that absorption involves a transition to a 1LMCT state. Whereas the spectroscopic data for Cp2Ti(C2TPA)2 and Cp2Ti(C2DMA)2 are well modeled using the optimized structure of these complexes, Cp2Ti(C2Ph)2 required averaging of the spectra from multiple rotamers involving rotation of the Ph rings. Consistent with this finding, an energy scan of all rotamers showed a very flat energetic surface, with less than 1.3 kcal/mol separating the minimum and maximum. The computational data suggest that emission occurs from a 3LMCT state. Optimization of the 3LMCT state demonstrates compression of the C-Ti-C bond angle, consistent with the known products of photodecomposition.

Abstract
![]()
Assessment of the
DNA photo-oxidation and synthetic photocatalytic
activity of chromium polypyridyl complexes is dominated by consideration
of their long-lived metal-centered excited states. Here we report
the participation of the excited states of [Cr(TMP)2dppz]3+ (1) (TMP = 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline;
dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine) in DNA photoreactions. The interactions of
enantiomers of 1 with natural DNA or with oligodeoxynucleotides
with varying AT content (0–100%) have been studied by steady
state UV/visible absorption and luminescence spectroscopic methods,
and the emission of 1 is found to be quenched in all
systems. The time-resolved infrared (TRIR) and visible absorption
spectra (TA) of 1 following excitation in the region
between 350 to 400 nm reveal the presence of relatively long-lived
dppz-centered states which eventually yield the emissive metal-centered
state. The dppz-localized states are fully quenched when bound by
GC base pairs and partially so in the presence of an AT base-pair
system to generate purine radical cations. The sensitized formation
of the adenine radical cation species (A•+T) is identified by assigning the TRIR spectra with help of
DFT calculations. In natural DNA and oligodeoxynucleotides containing
a mixture of AT and GC of base pairs, the observed time-resolved spectra
are consistent with eventual photo-oxidation occurring predominantly
at guanine through hole migration between base pairs. The combined
targeting of purines leads to enhanced photo-oxidation of guanine.
These results show that DNA photo-oxidation by the intercalated 1, which locates the dppz in contact with the target purines,
is dominated by the LC centered excited state. This work has implications
for future phototherapeutics and photocatalysis.

Abstract
In spite of intense, recent research efforts, luminescent transition metal complexes with Earth-abundant metals are still very rare owing to the small ligand field splitting of 3d transition metal complexes and the resulting non-emissive low-energy metal-centered states. Low-energy excited states decay efficiently non-radiatively, so that near-infrared emissive transition metal complexes with 3d transition metals are even more challenging. We report that the heteroleptic pseudo-octahedral d2-vanadium(iii) complex VCl3(ddpd) (ddpd = N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-dipyridine-2-yl-pyridine-2,6-diamine) shows near-infrared singlet → triplet spin-flip phosphorescence maxima at 1102, 1219 and 1256 nm with a lifetime of 0.5 μs at room temperature. Band splitting, ligand deuteration, excitation energy and temperature effects on the excited state dynamics will be discussed on slow and fast timescales using Raman, static and time-resolved photoluminescence, step-scan FTIR and fs-UV pump-vis probe spectroscopy as well as photolysis experiments in combination with static quantum chemical calculations. These results inform future design strategies for molecular materials of Earth-abundant metal ions exhibiting spin-flip luminescence and photoinduced metal-ligand bond homolysis.

Abstract
Gaining chemical control over the thermodynamics and kinetics of photoexcited states is paramount to an efficient and sustainable utilization of photoactive transition metal complexes in a plethora of technologies. In contrast to energies of charge transfer states described by spatially separated orbitals, the energies of spin-flip states cannot straightforwardly be predicted as Pauli repulsion and the nephelauxetic effect play key roles. Guided by multireference quantum chemical calculations, we report a novel highly luminescent spin-flip emitter with a quantum chemically predicted blue-shifted luminescence. The spin-flip emission band of the chromium complex [Cr(bpmp)2]3+ (bpmp = 2,6-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)pyridine) shifted to higher energy from ca. 780 nm observed for known highly emissive chromium(III) complexes to 709 nm. The photoluminescence quantum yields climb to 20%, and very long excited state lifetimes in the millisecond range are achieved at room temperature in acidic D2O solution. Partial ligand deuteration increases the quantum yield to 25%. The high excited state energy of [Cr(bpmp)2]3+ and its facile reduction to [Cr(bpmp)2]2+ result in a high excited state redox potential. The ligand's methylene bridge acts as a Brønsted acid quenching the luminescence at high pH. Combined with a pH-insensitive chromium(III) emitter, ratiometric optical pH sensing is achieved with single wavelength excitation. The photophysical and ground state properties (quantum yield, lifetime, redox potential, and acid/base) of this spin-flip complex incorporating an earth-abundant metal surpass those of the classical precious metal [Ru(α-diimine)3]2+ charge transfer complexes, which are commonly employed in optical sensing and photo(redox) catalysis, underlining the bright future of these molecular ruby analogues.

Abstract
Two closely related FeII complexes with 2,6-bis(1-ethyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4yl)pyridine and 2,6-bis(1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene)pyridine ligands are presented to gain new insights into the photophysics of bis(tridentate) iron(ii) complexes. The [Fe(N^N^N)2]2+ pseudoisomer sensitizes singlet oxygen through a MC state with nanosecond lifetime after MLCT excitation, while the bis(tridentate) [Fe(C^N^C)2]2+ pseudoisomer possesses a similar 3MLCT lifetime as the tris(bidentate) [Fe(C^C)2(N^N)]2+ complexes with four mesoionic carbenes.

Abstract
The Pd complex PdN3N exhibits an unusual dual emission of room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), but the mechanism is elusive. Herein, we employed both density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) methods to explore excited-state properties of this Pd complex, which shows that the S0, S1, T1, and T2 states are involved in the luminescence. Both the S1 → T1 and S1 → T2 intersystem crossing (ISC) processes are more efficient than the S1 fluorescence and insensitive to temperature. However, the direct T1 → S1 and T2-mediated T1 → T2 → S1 reverse ISC (rISC) processes change remarkably with temperature. At 300 K, these two processes are more efficient than the T1 phosphorescence and therefore enable TADF. Importantly, the T1 → S1 rISC and T1 phosphorescence rates are comparable at 300 K, which leads to dual emissions of TADF and RTP, whereas these two channels become blocked at 100 K so that only the T1 phosphorescence is recorded experimentally.

Abstract
Although many strategies have been used to help design effective near-infrared (NIR) luminescent materials, it is still a huge challenge to realize long-wavelength NIR luminescence of diimineplatinum(II) complexes in the solid state. Herein, we have successfully achieved long-wavelength NIR luminescence of a family of diimineplatinum(II) complexes based on a new strategy that combines a one-dimensional (1D) "Pt wire" structure with the electronic effect of the substituent. The structures of six solvated diimineplatinum(II) complexes based on 4,4-dichloro-2,2'-bipyridine or 4,4-dibromo-2,2'-bipyridine and 4-substituted phenylacetylene ligands have been determined, namely, 1·1/2toluene, 2·1/2THF, 3·1/8toluene, 4·1/2THF, 5·1/8CH2Cl2, and 6·1/4toluene. All of them crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c or C2/m and stack in the 1D "Pt wire" structure. In the solid state, six complexes exhibited unusual long-wavelength metal-metal-to-ligand charge-transfer luminescence that peaked at 984, 1044, 972, 990, 1022, and 935 nm, respectively. Interestingly, 2·1/2THF has the shortest Pt···Pt distance and the longest emission wavelength among the six complexes. As far as we know, the luminescence of 2·1/2THF at 1044 nm is the longest emission wavelength among known diimineplatinum(II) complexes. Systematic studies revealed that good molecular planarity, suitable substituent position, weak hydrogen-bond-forming ability of the substituents, appropriate molecular bending, and weakening of the interaction between solvated molecules and platinum molecules are conducive to the construction of a 1D "Pt wire" structure of the diimineplatinum(II) complex. Furthermore, the emission energy of the complex is mainly determined by the strength of the Pt-Pt interaction and electronic effect of the substituent.
