Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence. 59. Rhenium Complexes

چکیده
Re(L)(CO)3Cl complexes (where L is 1,10-phenanthroline, 2,2′-bipyridine, or a phenanthroline or bipyridine derivative containing methyl groups) are photoluminescent in fluid solution at room temperature. In acetonitrile solutions, these complexes display one chemically reversible one-electron reduction process and one chemically irreversible oxidation process. λmax for the luminescence is dependent on the nature of L, and a linear relationship between λmax and the difference in electrode potentials for oxidation and reduction is evident. Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) was observed in acetonitrile solutions of these complexes (Bu4NPF6 as electrolyte) by stepping the potential of a Pt disk working electrode between potentials sufficient to form the radical anionic and cationic species. The relative amount of light produced during the anodic and cathodic pulses was dependent on the potential limits and pulse duration. ECL was also generated in the presence of coreactants, i.e., with tri-n-propylamine upon stepping the potential sufficiently positive to form the deprotonated tri-n-propylamine radical and the cationic rhenium(II) species Re(L)(CO)3Cl. When S2O8 was present in solution, ECL was also observed for all of the complexes upon stepping to potentials sufficient to form (Re(L)(CO)3Cl) and the strong oxidant SO4. In most cases, the ECL spectrum was identical to the photoluminescence spectrum, indicating that the chemical reactions following electrochemical oxidation or reduction form the same metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) excited states that are generated in the photoluminescence experiments.

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence. 58. Ligand-sensitized electrogenerated chemiluminescence in europium labels.
The electrochemistry and electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of a series of europium chelates, cryptates, and mixed-ligand chelate/cryptand complexes were studied. The complexes were of the following general forms: EuL(4)(-), where L = β-diketonate, a bis-chelating ligand (such as dibenzoylmethide), added as salts (A)EuL(4), where A = tetrabutylammonium ion or piperidinium ion (pipH(+)); ...
متن کاملAbnormal Magnetic Field Effects on Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence
We report abnormal magnetic field effects on electrogenerated chemiluminescence (MFEECL) based on triplet emission from the Ru(bpy)3Cl2-TPrA electrochemical system: the appearance of MFEECL after magnetic field ceases. In early studies the normal MFEECL have been observed from electrochemical systems during the application of magnetic field. Here, the abnormal MFEECL suggest that the activated ...

Four cationic heteroleptic iridium(III) complexes have been prepared from methyl- or benzyl-substituted chelating imidazolylidene or benzimidazolylidene ligands using a Ag(I) transmetallation protocol. The synthesised iridium(III) complexes were characterised by elemental analysis, (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy and the molecular structures for three complexes were determined by single crystal...

The electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of Ru(dp-bpy):+ (dp-bpy = 4,4’-diphenyl-2,2’bipyridine) and Ru(dp-phen):+ (dp-phen = 4,7-diphenyl-l,lO-phenanthroline) in acetonitrile and aqueous solutions was studied. The diphenyl-substituted compounds produced a more intense emission than the nonsubstituted Ru(bpy):+ Ru(dp-phen):+ m acetonitrile. The ECL efficiencies, dECL, of Ru(dp-bpy):+ and we...
