Synthesis,Crystal Structure,Spectroscopic Property and Redox Behavior of Zinc(Ⅱ) Complexes Containing Oligoaniline-functionalized Terpyridine Ligands

Two novel mono-nuclear zinc（Ⅱ） complexes with oligoaniline-functionalized terpyridine ligands have been synthesized and verified by 1H-NMR,13C-NMR,Elemental Analysis （EA） and X-ray Diffraction （XRD）. The UV-vis spectra show the ligand-centered （LC） π-π＊ transitions and intra-ligand charge transfer （1ILCT） transitions,and the 1ILCT band red-shifts with the increasing number of aromatic amine groups in the ligands. Complex [Zn（L1）2]（PF6）2 with an aromatic amine group in ligand shows a strong emission peak at 523 nm in the MeCN solution at 293 K and a blue-shifted band at 517 nm in the alcoholic glass at 77 K. However,for complex [Zn（L2）2]（PF6）2 containing aniline dimer modified ligand,no apparent emission can be observed in the MeCN solution at room temperature due to a PET non-radiative decay pathway. Both of them show multiplicate redox processes based on oligoaniline and terpyridine units. The shifts of redox potentials also reflect the D-A interactions between the oligoaniline units and [Zn（TPY）2]2＋ core.

Theoretical Studies on Structures and Spectroscopic Properties of Highly Efficient Phosphorescent [Ru（terpy）（phen）X]＋ Complexes

The ground and the lowest-lying triplet excited state geometries, electronic structures, and spectroscopic properties of three mixed-ligand Ru（II） complexes [Ru（terpy）（phen）X]＋ （terpy=2,2＇,6＇,2″-terpyridine, phen=l,10-phenanthroline, and X=-C-=CH （1）, X=Cl （2）, X-CN （3）） were investigated theoretically using the density functional theory method. The ground and excited state geometries have been fully optimized at the B3LYP/LanL2DZ and UB3LYP/LanL2DZ levels, respectively. The absorption and emission spectra of the com- plexes in CHaCN solutions were calculated by time-dependent density functional theory with the PCM solvent model. The calculated bond lengths of Ru-C, Ru-N, and Ru-Cl in the ground state agree well with the corresponding experimental results. The highest occupied molecular orbital were dominantly localized on the Ru atom and monodentate X ligand for 1 and 2, Ru atom and terpy ligand for a, while the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital were π＊（terpy） type orbital. Therefore, the lowest-energy absorptions of 1 and 2 at 688 and 631 nln are attributed to a dyz （Ru）＋Tr/p（X）--π＊ （terpy） transition with MLCT/XLCT （metal-to-ligand charge transfer/X ligand to terpy ligand charge transfer） character, whereas that of 3 at 529 nm is related to a dyz （Ru）＋π（terpy）-π＊ （terpy） transition with MLCT and ILCT transition character. The calculated phosphorescence of three complexes at 1011 nm （1）, 913 nm （2）, and 838 nm （3） have similar transition properties to that of the lowest-lying absorption. It is shown that the lowest lying absorptions and emissions transition character of these Ru（II） complexes can be tuned by changing the electron-withdrawing ability of the monodentate ligand.

The crystalline phase and microstructure of the LiYF_4 nanocrystals were studied by X-ray diffraction（XRD） and transmission electron microscopy（TEM）, respectively. Compared with those of Pr^（3＋）-doped glass（Pr^（3＋）：PG）, the sharp absorption and emission bands of Pr^（3＋）-doped glass-ceramic（Pr^（3＋）：GC） reveal parts of Pr^（3＋） ions are incorporated into LiYF_4 nanocrystals. The peak absorption cross-section at 443 nm（~3H_4 → ~3P_2） adds to 110% and the full width at half maximum（FWHM） for the band around 443 nm reduces from 22 to 14 nm after crystallization. The fluorescence lifetime of the ~3P_0 multiplet of Pr^（3＋） ions increases from 5.35 to 11.14 μs after crystallization. The results indicate that this glass-ceramic is promising to be a visible laser material.

The broad emission bands around 1060 nm show that the crystal is a potential medium for tunable and short pulse lasers. The quantum efficiency of the crystal is up to 95%, which is higher than the value for Nd3＋：YVO4 and Nd3＋：YAG and comparable to that of other disordered molybdate crystals. The excellent spectroscopic properties show that Nd3＋：Li3Ba2La3（MoO4）8 crystal may be regarded as a potential solid state laser host material for diode laser pumping.
