Abstract
The photophysical properties of the title compound have been studied by fs and ns transient absorption spectroscopy. The electronic absorption spectrum consists of three principle absorptions assigned to terpy 1LLCT at ~300 nm, ruthenium (II) t 62g to terpy 1MLCT at ~470 nm and Mo2 δ to terpycarboxylate at ~670 nm. The compound shows weak room temperature emission in THF solution at ~1,100 nm when excited into each of the aforementioned bands. This emission is assigned to the T1 state, 3MMδδ*. Transient absorption spectroscopy indicates a lifetime for T1 of 9.6 μs.
