The atomic resolved density of state shows that there is density of Ru on the HOMOs. All the density is localized on the ammine, which reveals that the excited electrons in the Ru complex are delocalized over the ammine ligand. The charge difference density shows that all the holes are localized on the Ru and the electrons on the ammine. The localization explains the MLCT on excitation. The transition density matrix shows that there is electron-hole coherence between Ru and ammine. These methods are also used to examine the MLCT in Os(bpy)2(p0p)Cl ("Osp0p": bpy=2,2-bipyrldyl; p0p=4,4'- bipyridyl) and the ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LLCT) in Alq3. The calculated results show that these methods are powerful to examine MLCT and LLCT in the metal-ligand system.展开更多

Upon photoexcitation to the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) states, the excited-state dynamics shows a rapid process (τ-=0.7-3 ps) for the formation of solvent stabilized 3MLCT states, which significantly depends on the solvent polarity for both 1 and 2. Sequentially, a relatively slow process assigned to the vibrational cooling/geometrical relaxation and a long-lived phospho- rescent emissive state is identified. Due to the different excited-state electronic structures regulated by ancillary ligands, the solvation-induced stabilization of the 3MLCT state in 1 is faster than that in 2. The present results provide a better sight of excited-state relaxation dynamics of ligand-related iridium(Ⅲ) complexes and solvation effects on triplet manifolds.展开更多

The study demonstrates that the Bi-TBAPy not only possesses good chemical stability and suitable band edge positions for promising photocatalytic H2 evolution, but it also exhibits a typical ligand-to-metal charge transfer for favorable charge separation. The photocatalytic H2 evolution rates on the as-obtained Bi-TBAPy with different cocatalysts modified were examined with triethanolamine as the sacrificial reagent. Based on this, the hydrogen evolution rate of 140 μmol h-1 g-1 was obtained on the optimized sample with a loading of 2 wt% Pt as a cocatalyst. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first bismuth-based metal-organic framework(MOF) that functions as an effective photocatalyst for photocatalytic water reduction. Our study not only adds a new member to the family of photocatalyst materials, but also reveals the importance of cocatalyst modification in improving photocatalytic activity of MOFs.展开更多

Based on three-current model, considering electrical field effect, we present a theoretical model to discuss spin-polarized injection from ferromagnetic electrode into organic semiconductor by analyzing electrochemical potential both in ferromagnetic electrode and organic semiconductors. The calculated result of this model shows effects of electrode's spin polarization, equilibrium value of polarons ratio, interracial conductance, bulk conductivity of materials and electrical field. It is found that we could get decent spin polarization with common ferromagnetic electrode by increasing equilibrium value of polarons ratio. We also find that large and matched bulk conductivity of organic semiconductor and electrode, small spin-dependent interracial conductance, and enough large electrical field are critical factors for increasing spin polarization.展开更多

文摘Three methods including the atomic resolved density of state, charge difference density, and the transition density matrix are used to visualize metal to ligand charge transfer (MLCT) in ruthenium(II) ammine complex. The atomic resolved density of state shows that there is density of Ru on the HOMOs. All the density is localized on the ammine, which reveals that the excited electrons in the Ru complex are delocalized over the ammine ligand. The charge difference density shows that all the holes are localized on the Ru and the electrons on the ammine. The localization explains the MLCT on excitation. The transition density matrix shows that there is electron-hole coherence between Ru and ammine. These methods are also used to examine the MLCT in Os(bpy)2(p0p)Cl ("Osp0p": bpy=2,2-bipyrldyl; p0p=4,4'- bipyridyl) and the ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LLCT) in Alq3. The calculated results show that these methods are powerful to examine MLCT and LLCT in the metal-ligand system.
