Abstract
Recentstudies toward finding more efficient ruthenium metalloligands for photocatalysis applications have shown that the derivatives of the linear [Ru(dqp)2]2+ (dqp: 2,6-di(quinolin-8-yl)-pyridine) complexes hold significant promise due to their extended emission lifetime in the μs time scale while retaining comparable redox potential, extinction coefficients, and absorption profile in the visible region to [Ru(bpy)3]2+ (bpy: 2,2'-bipyridine) and [Ru(tpy)2]2+ (tpy: 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine) complexes. Nevertheless, its photostability in aqueous solution needs to be improved for its widespread use in photocatalysis. Carbon-based supports have arisen as potential solutions for improving photostability and photocatalytic activity, yet their effect greatly depends on the interaction of the metal complex with the support. Herein, we present a strategy for obtaining Ru-polypyridyl complexes covalently linked to aminated reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to generate novel materials with long-term photostability and increased photoactivity. Specifically, the hybrid Ru(dqp)@rGO system has shown excellent photostable behavior during 24 h of continual irradiation, with an enhancement of 10 and 15% of photocatalytic dye degradation in comparison with [Ru(dqp)2]2+ and Ru(tpy)@rGO, respectively, as well as remarkable recyclability. The presented strategy corroborates the potential of [Ru(dqp)2]2+ as an interesting photoactive molecule to produce more advantageous light-active materials by covalent attachment onto carbon-based supports.

Abstract
Two new complexes, [Ru(tpy)(qdppz)](PF6)2 (1; qdppz = 2-(quinolin-8-yl)dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine, tpy = 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine) and [Ru(qdppz)2](PF6)2 (2), were investigated for their potential use as phototherapeutic agents through their ability to photosensitize the production of singlet oxygen, 1O2, upon irradiation with visible light. The complexes exhibit strong Ru(dπ) → qdppz(π*) metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) absorption with maxima at 485 and 495 nm for 1 and 2 in acetone, respectively, red-shifted from the Ru(dπ) → tpy(π*) absorption at 470 nm observed for [Ru(tpy)2]2+ (3) in the same solvent. Complexes 1 and 3 are not luminescent at room temperature, but 3MLCT emission is observed for 2 with maximum at 690 nm (λexc = 480 nm) in acetone. The lifetimes of the 3MLCT states of 1 and 2 were measured using transient absorption spectroscopy to be ∼9 and 310 ns in methanol, respectively, at room temperature (λexc = 490 nm). The bite angle of the qdppz ligand is closer to octahedral geometry than that of tpy, resulting in the longer lifetime of 2 as compared to those of 1 and 3. Arrhenius treatment of the temperature dependence of the luminescence results in similar activation energies, Ea, from the 3MLCT to the 3LF (ligand-field) state for the two complexes, 2520 cm-1 in 1 and 2400 cm-1 in 2. However, the pre-exponential factors differ by approximately two orders of magnitude, 2.3 × 1013 s-1 for 1 and 1.4 × 1011 s-1 for 2, which, together with differences in the Huang-Rhys factors, lead to markedly different 3MLCT lifetimes. Although both 1 and 2 intercalate between the DNA bases, only 2 is able to photocleave DNA owing to its 1O2 production upon irradiation with ΦΔ = 0.69. The present work highlights the profound effect of the ligand bite angle on the electronic structure, providing guidelines for extending the lifetime of 3MLCT Ru(II) complexes with tridentate ligands, a desired property for a number of applications.

Abstract
Tridentate ligand-coordinated ruthenium (II) polypyridyl complexes with large N-Ru-N bite angles have been shown to promote ligand field splitting and reduce singlet-triplet state mixing leading to dramatically extended emission quantum yields and lifetimes under ambient conditions. These effects are anticipated to enhance their photoinduced singlet oxygen production, promoting prospects for such complexes as type II phototherapeutics. In this contribution, we examined this putative effect for [Ru(bqp)(bqpCOOEt)]2+, Ru-bqp-ester, a heteroleptic complex containing bqp = [2,6-bi(quinolin-8-yl)pyridine], a well-established large bite angle tridentate ligand, as well as its peptide conjugates [Ru(bqp)(bqpCONH-ahx-FrFKFrFK(Ac)-CONH2)]5+ (Ru-bqp-MPP) and [Ru(bqp) (bqp)(CONH-ahx-RRRRRRRR-CONH2)]10+ (Ru-bqp-R8) that were prepared in an effort to promote live cell/tissue permeability and targeting of the parent. Membrane permeability of both parent and peptide conjugates were compared across 2D cell monolayers; A549, Chinese hamster ovary, human pancreatic cancer (HPAC), and 3D HPAC multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTS) using confocal microscopy. Both the parent complex and peptide conjugates showed exceptional permeability with rapid uptake in both 2D and 3D cell models but with little distinction in permeability or distribution in cells between the parent or peptide conjugates. Unexpectedly, the uptake was temperature independent and so attributed to passive permeation. Both dark and photo-toxicity of the Ru(II) complexes were assessed across cell types, and the parent showed notably low dark toxicity. In contrast, the parent and conjugates were found to be highly phototoxic, with impressive phototoxic indices (PIs) toward HPAC cell monolayers in particular, with PI values ranging from ∼580 to 760. Overall, our data indicate that the Ru(II) parent complex and its peptide conjugates show promise at both cell monolayers and 3D MCTS as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
In this paper, we investigated water exchange reactions and substitution of aqua RuII complexes of general formula [Ru(terpy)(N^N)(H2 O)]2+ (where N^N = ethylenediamine (en), 1,2-(aminomethyl)pyridine (ampy) and 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy)) by ammonia and thioformaldehyde. These reactions were studied in detail by applying conceptual density functional theory. This approach enabled us to gain further insight into the underlying reaction mechanism at the microscopic level (involving only direct participants of the reaction, without the influence of the solvent) and to put the concept of reaction mechanism on a quantitative basis. The course of the chemical reaction along the reaction coordinate ξ, is rationalized in terms of reaction energy, force, dipole moment, and reaction electronic flux (REF). The results yield and characterize the significant influence of an intermolecular hydrogen bond formed between the entering and the spectator ligand to the overall energy barrier of the reactions.

Abstract
Transition metal luminophores are emerging as important tools for intracellular imaging and sensing. Their putative suitability for such applications has long been recognised but poor membrane permeability and cytotoxicity were significant barriers that impeded early progress. In recent years, numerous effective routes to overcoming these issues have been reported, inspired in part, by advances and insights from the pharmaceutical and drug delivery domains. In particular, the conjugation of biomolecules but also other less natural synthetic species, from a repertoire of functional motifs have granted membrane permeability and cellular targeting. Such motifs can also reduce cytotoxicity of transition metal complexes and offer a valuable avenue to circumvent such problems leading to promising metal complex candidates for application in bioimaging, sensing and diagnostics. The advances in metal complex probes permeability/targeting are timely, as, in parallel, over the past two decades significant technological advances in luminescence imaging have occurred. In particular, super-resolution imaging is enormously powerful but makes substantial demands of its imaging contrast agents and metal complex luminophores frequently possess the photophysical characteristics to meet these demands. Here, we review some of the key vectors that have been conjugated to transition metal complex luminophores to promote their use in intra-cellular imaging applications. We evaluate some of the most effective strategies in terms of membrane permeability, intracellular targeting and what impact these approaches have on toxicity and phototoxicity which are important considerations in a luminescent contrast or sensing agent.

Abstract
Synthesis, characterization, electrochemistry, and photophysics of homo- and heteroleptic ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru(cpmp)2 ]2+ (22+ ) and [Ru(cpmp)(ddpd)]2+ (32+ ) bearing the tridentate ligands 6,2''-carboxypyridyl-2,2'-methylamine-pyridyl-pyridine (cpmp) and N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-dipyridin-2-ylpyridine-2,6-diamine (ddpd) are reported. The complexes possess one (32+ ) or two (22+ ) electron-deficient dipyridyl ketone fragments as electron-accepting sites enabling intraligand charge transfer (ILCT), ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LL'CT) and low-energy metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) absorptions. The latter peak around 544 nm (green light). Complex 22+ shows 3 MLCT phosphorescence in the red to near-infrared spectral region at room temperature in deaerated acetonitrile solution with an emission quantum yield of 1.3 % and a 3 MLCT lifetime of 477 ns, whereas 32+ is much less luminescent. This different behavior is ascribed to the energy gap law and the shape of the parasitic excited 3 MC state potential energy surface. This study highlights the importance of the excited-state energies and geometries for the actual excited-state dynamics. Aromatic and aliphatic amines reductively quench the excited state of 22+ paving the way to photocatalytic applications using low-energy green light as exemplified with the green-light-sensitized thiol-ene click reaction.

Abstract
A new tridentate ligand based on acridine has been synthetized. The central acridine heterocycle bears two pyridine coordinating units at positions 4 and 5. The terdentate 2,7-di- tert-butyl-4,5-di(pyridin-2-yl)acridine (dtdpa) was then coordinated to a ruthenium(II) cation. The corresponding homoleptic complex could only be obtained where both ligands coordinate to the ruthenium in a fac fashion. Thus, a heteroleptic compound (2) was constructed in combination with a terpyridine ligand in order to constrain the ligand to adopt a mer geometry. Such a coordination imposes a dramatic twist on the acridine heterocycle, resulting in an unexpected photophysical behavior. The electrochemical and photophysical properties of both complexes were studied, and the molecular structure of 2 was determined by X-ray diffraction. The two compounds absorb at low energy wavelengths, and a very weak luminescence is detected only for complex 2 in the near-infrared region.

Abstract
Computational investigation of the photochemical properties of transition-metal-centered dyes typically involves optimization of the molecular structure followed by calculation of the UV/visible spectrum. At present, these steps are usually carried out using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculations. Recently, we demonstrated that semiempirical methods with appropriate parameterization could yield geometries that were in very good agreement with DFT calculations, allowing large sets of molecules to be screened quickly and efficiently. In this article, we modify a configuration interaction (CI) method based on a semiempirical PM6 Hamiltonian to determine the UV/visible absorption spectra of Ru-centered complexes. Our modification to the CI method is based on a scaling of the two-center, two-electron Coulomb integrals. This modified, PM6-based method shows a significantly better match to the experimental absorption spectra versus the default configuration interaction method (in MOPAC) on a training set of 13 molecules. In particular, the modified PM6 method blue-shifts the location of the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) peaks, in better agreement with experimental and DFT-based computational results, correcting a significant deficiency of the unmodified method. Published 2018. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA.

Abstract
In this paper we report the photophysical properties of a series of bis-tridentate RuII-complexes, based on the dqp-ligand (dqp = 2,6-di(quinolin-8-yl)pyridine), which display several microsecond long excited state lifetimes for triplet metal-to-ligand charge transfer (3MLCT) at room temperature. Temperature dependence of the excited state lifetimes for [Ru(dqp)2]2+ and [Ru(dqp)(ttpy)]2+ (ttpy = 4'-tolyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine) is reported and radiative and non-radiative rate constants for the whole series are reported and discussed. We can confirm previous assumptions that the near-octahedricity of the bis-dqp complexes dramatically slows down activated decay at room temperature, as compared to most other and less long-lived bis-tridentate RuII-complexes, such as [Ru(tpy)2]2+ with τ = 0.25 ns at room temperature (tpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine). Moreover, the direct non-radiative decay to the ground state is comparatively slow for ∼700 nm room-temperature emission when considering the energy-gap law. Analysis of the 77 K emission spectra suggests that this effect is not primarily due to smaller excited state distortion than that for comparable complexes. Instead, an analysis of the photophysical parameters suggests a weaker singlet-triplet mixing in the MLCT state, which slows down both radiative and non-radiative decay.

Abstract
A series of heterobimetallic complexes of compositions [(bpy/phen)2Ru(dipy-Hbzim-tpy)Os (tpy-PhCH3/H2pbbzim)]4+ (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, tpy-PhCH3 = 4'-(4-methylphenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine and H2pbbzim = 2,6-bis(benzimidazole-2-yl)pyridine)), derived from a heteroditopic bpy-tpy bridging ligand, were synthesized and thoroughly characterized in this work. The heterometallic complexes exhibit two successive one-electron reversible metal-centered oxidations corresponding to OsII/OsIII at lower potential and RuII/RuIII at higher potential. All the four dyads exhibit very intense, ligand centered absorption bands in the UV region and moderately intense MLCT bands in the visible region. The dyads also show intense infrared emission with the emission maximum spanning between 734 nm and 775 nm with reasonably long room temperature lifetimes varying between 30 ns and 104 ns. Both steady state and time resolved luminescence spectroscopic investigations indicate that efficient and fast intramolecular energy transfer from the 3MLCT state of the Ru(ii) center to the Os-center takes place in all the four dyads. In addition, the rate of energy transfer was found to depend on the terminal ligand on the Os-site. Due to the presence of a number of imidazole NH protons in the dyads, significant modulation of both the ground and excited state properties of the complexes was made possible by varying the pH of the solution. By varying the terminal ligand, pH-induced "on-off", "off-off-on" and "on-off-on" emission switching of the complexes was nicely demonstrated in the infrared region.

Abstract
Reversing the metal-to-ligand charge transfer (3 MLCT)/metal-centered (3 MC) excited state order in iron(II) complexes is a challenging objective, yet would finally result in long-sought luminescent transition-metal complexes with an earth-abundant central ion. One approach to achieve this goal is based on low-energy charge-transfer absorptions in combination with a strong ligand field. Coordinating electron-rich and electron-poor tridentate oligopyridine ligands with large bite angles at iron(II) enables both low-energy MLCT absorption bands around 590 nm and a strong ligand field. Variations of the electron-rich ligand by introducing longer alkyl substituents destabilizes the iron(II) complex towards ligand substitution reactions while hardly affecting the optical properties. On the other hand, N-deprotonation of the ligand backbone is feasible and reversible, yielding deep-green complexes with charge-transfer bands extending into the near-IR region. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations assign these absorption bands to transitions with dipole-allowed ligand-to-ligand charge transfer character. This unique geometric and electronic situation establishes a further regulating screw to increase the energy gap between potentially emitting charge-transfer states and the non-radiative ligand field states of iron(II) dyes.

Abstract
In this work we report synthesis and characterization of three rigid and linear rodlike monometallic Ru(II) complexes based on a terpyridine ligand tightly connected to 9,10-anthraquinone electron-acceptor unit through phenyl-imidazole spacer. The motivation of designing these complexes is to enhance their excited-state lifetimes at room temperature. Interestingly it is found that all three complexes exhibit luminescence at room temperature with excited-state lifetimes in the range of 1.6-52.8 ns, depending upon the coligand as well as the solvent. Temperature-dependent luminescence investigations indicate that the energy gap between the emitting 3MLCT state and nonemitting metal-centered state 3MC in the complexes increased enormously compared with parent [Ru(tpy)2]2+. In addition, by taking advantage of the imidazole NH proton(s), which became appreciably acidic upon combined effect of electron accepting anthraquinone moiety as well as metal ion coordination, we also examined anion recognition and sensing behaviors of the complexes in organic, mixed aqueous-organic as well as in solid medium through different optical channels such as absorption, steady-state and time-resolved emission, and 1H NMR spectroscopic techniques. In conjunction with the experiment, computational investigation was also employed to examine the electronic structures of the complexes and accurate assignment of experimentally observed spectral and redox behaviors.

Abstract
The photophysics and photochemistry of transition metal complexes (TMCs) has long been a hot field of interdisciplinary research. Rich metal-based redox processes, together with a high variety in electronic configurations and excited-state dynamics, have rendered TMCs excellent candidates for interconversion between light, chemical, and electrical energies in intramolecular, supramolecular, and interfacial arrangements. In specific applications such as photocatalytic organic synthesis, photoelectrochemical cells, and light-driven supramolecular motors, light absorption by a TMC-based photosensitizer and subsequent excited-state energy or electron transfer constitute essential steps. In this context, TMCs based on rare and expensive metals, such as ruthenium and iridium, are frequently employed as photosensitizers, which is obviously not ideal for large-scale implementation. In the search for abundant and environmentally benign solutions, six-coordinate Fe(II) complexes (Fe(II)L6) have been widely considered as highly desirable alternatives. However, not much success has been achieved due to the extremely short-lived triplet metal-to-ligand charge transfer ((3)MLCT) excited state that is deactivated by low-lying metal-centered (MC) states on a 100 fs time scale. A fundamental strategy to design useful Fe-based photosensitizers is thus to destabilize the MC states relative to the (3)MLCT state by increasing the ligand field strength, with special focus on making eg σ* orbitals on the Fe center energetically less accessible. Previous efforts to directly transplant successful strategies from Ru(II)L6 complexes unfortunately met with limited success in this regard, despite their close chemical kinship. In this Account, we summarize recent promising results from our and other groups in utilizing strongly σ-donating N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands to make strong-field Fe(II)L6 complexes with significantly extended (3)MLCT lifetimes. Already some of the first homoleptic bis(tridentate) complexes incorporating (CNHC^Npyridine^CNHC)-type ligands gratifyingly resulted in extension of the (3)MLCT lifetime by more than 2 orders of magnitude compared to the parental [Fe(tpy)2](2+) (tpy = 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine) complex. Quantum chemical (QC) studies also revealed that the (3)MC instead of the (5)MC state likely dictates the deactivation of the (3)MLCT state, a behavior distinct from traditional Fe(II)L6 complexes but rather resembling Ru analogues. A heteroleptic Fe(II) NHC complex featuring mesoionic bis(1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene) (btz) ligands also delivered a 100-fold elongation of the (3)MLCT lifetime relative to its parental [Fe(bpy)3](2+) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) complex. Again, a Ru-like deactivation mechanism of the (3)MLCT state was indicated by QC studies. With a COOH-functionalized homoleptic complex, a record (3)MLCT lifetime of 37 ps was recently observed on an Al2O3 nanofilm. As a proof of concept, it was further demonstrated that the significant improvement in the (3)MLCT lifetime indeed benefits efficient light harvesting with Fe(II) NHC complexes. For the first time, close-to-unity electron injection from the lowest-energy (3)MLCT state to a TiO2 nanofilm was achieved by a stable Fe(II) complex. This is in complete contrast to conventional Fe(II)L6-derived photosensitizers that could only make use of high-energy photons. These exciting results significantly broaden the understanding of the fundamental photophysics and photochemistry of d(6) Fe(II) complexes. They also open up new possibilities to develop solar energy-converting materials based on this abundant, inexpensive, and intrinsically nontoxic element.

Abstract
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) represent a means for harvesting solar energy to produce electrical power. Though a number of light harvesting dyes are in use, the search continues for more efficient and effective compounds to make commercially viable DSCs a reality. Computational methods have been increasingly applied to understand the dyes currently in use and to aid in the search for improved light harvesting compounds. Semiempirical quantum chemistry methods have a well-deserved reputation for giving good quality results in a very short amount of computer time. The most recent semiempirical models such as PM6 and PM7 are parametrized for a wide variety of molecule types, including organometallic complexes similar to DSC chromophores. In this article, the performance of PM6 is tested against a set of 20 molecules whose geometries were optimized using a density functional theory (DFT) method. It is found that PM6 gives geometries that are in good agreement with the optimized DFT structures. In order to reduce the differences between geometries optimized using PM6 and geometries optimized using DFT, the PM6 basis set parameters have been optimized for a subset of the molecules. It is found that it is sufficient to optimize the basis set for Ru alone to improve the agreement between the PM6 results and the DFT results. When this optimized Ru basis set is used, the mean unsigned error in Ru-ligand bond lengths is reduced from 0.043 to 0.017 Å in the set of 20 test molecules. Though the magnitude of these differences is small, the effect on the calculated UV/vis spectra is significant. These results clearly demonstrate the value of using PM6 to screen DSC chromophores as well as the value of optimizing PM6 basis set parameters for a specific set of molecules.

Abstract
Phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have attracted increased attention from both academic and industrial communities due to their potential practical application in high-resolution full-color displays and energy-saving solid-state lightings. The performance of phosphorescent OLEDs is mainly limited by the phosphorescent transition metal complexes (such as iridium(III), platinum(II), gold(III), ruthenium(II), copper(I) and osmium(II) complexes, etc.) which can play a crucial role in furnishing efficient energy transfer, balanced charge injection/transporting character and high quantum efficiency in the devices. It has been shown that functionalized main-group element (such as boron, silicon, nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, sulfur and fluorine, etc.) moieties can be incorporated into phosphorescent emitters and their host materials to tune their triplet energies, frontier molecular orbital energies, charge injection/transporting behavior, photophysical properties and thermal stability and hence bring about highly efficient phosphorescent OLEDs. So, in this review, the recent advances in the phosphorescent emitters and their host materials functionalized with various main-group moieties will be introduced from the point of view of their structure-property relationship. The main emphasis lies on the important role played by the main-group element groups in addressing the key issues of both phosphorescent emitters and their host materials to fulfill high-performance phosphorescent OLEDs.

Abstract
With the aim of developing new molecular devices having long-range electron transfer in artificial systems and as photosensitizers, a series of homoleptic ruthenium(II) bisterpyridine complexes bearing one to three anthracenyl units sandwiched between terpyridine and 2-methyl-2-butenoic acid group are synthesized and characterized. The complexes formulated as bis-4'-(9-monoanthracenyl-10-(2-methyl-2-butenoic acid) terpyridyl) ruthenium(II) bis(hexafluorophosphate) (RBT1), bis-4'-(9-dianthracenyl-10-(2-methyl-2-butenoic acid) terpyridyl) ruthenium(II) bis(hexafluorophosphate) (RBT2), and bis-4'-(9-trianthracenyl-10-(2-methyl-2-butenoic acid) terpyridyl) ruthenium(II) bis(hexafluorophosphate) (RBT3) were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, photoluminescence, (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, photoluminescence, (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques. The cyclic voltammograms (CVs) of (RBT1), (RBT2), and (RBT3) display reversible one-electron oxidation processes at E 1/2 = 1.13 V, 0.71 V, and 0.99 V, respectively (versus Ag/AgCl). Based on a general linear correlation between increase in the length of π-conjugation bond and the molar extinction coefficients, the Ru(II) bisterpyridyl complexes show characteristic broad and intense metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) band absorption transitions between 480-600 nm, ε = 9.45 × 10(3) M(-1) cm(-1), and appreciable photoluminescence spanning the visible region.
