MLCT型遷移金属錯体の光機能性に対するリジッドな媒体効果

抄録

Photofunctionalities (e.g., absorption/emission characteristics and photoinduced reaction behaviors) of the MLCT-type transition metal complexes are sensitive to the microenvironment around the molecule as well as the chemical structure of the molecule itself. Therefore, understanding how the complexes behave under the rigid environment is of primary importance since the solid-state environments are often employed as the media for the metal complexes in photochemical applications/devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In this article, the spectroscopic, photophysical and photochemical properties of the MLCT-type transition metal complexes introduced into the polymerizable material or metal–organic framework systems are described as typical examples of the rigid medium effects on the photofunctionalities of the metal complexes.
