Photophysical properties of a β-Carboline Rhenium (I) complex. Solvent effects on excited states and their redox reactivity

The photochemical and photophysical properties of a Re(I) tricarbonyl complex, ClRe(CO)3(nHo)2, where nHo = 9H-pyrido[3,4-b] indole (norharmane), were investigated in solution phase by a combination of steady state emission spectroscopy, laser flash photolysis (LFP) and pulse radiolysis (PR) techniq...

description The photochemical and photophysical properties of a Re(I) tricarbonyl complex, ClRe(CO)3(nHo)2, where nHo = 9H-pyrido[3,4-b] indole (norharmane), were investigated in solution phase by a combination of steady state emission spectroscopy, laser flash photolysis (LFP) and pulse radiolysis (PR) techniques. These results allowed us to identify and study the reactivity of the β-carboline (nHo) Rhenium(I) complex main excited states. The absorption spectrum as well as the steady-state and time-resolved luminescence of the complex exhibits a marked dependence with the solvent properties. These experimentally observed results were corroborated by quantum chemical calculations, TD-DFT. The most important electronic transitions present in the spectrum in all solvents are MLLCTRe(CO)3→nHo1, nHo2 along with a mixture of ILnHo and LLCTCl→nHo transitions. The relationship between the dipole moment and the polarity of the solvent was rationalized in terms of the electron density inside and outside the complex.
