Simulation of highly emissive states based on ligand-to-metal charge transfer

详细

Properties of the frontier orbitals of a d⁰-organometallic complex with promising photoluminescent and photosensor characteristics have been systematically studied by modern quantum-chemical methods. It has been demonstrated that the lowest electronically excited states are related to charge transfer from high-lying ligand-centered molecular orbitals to the predominantly metal-centered lowest unoccupied molecular orbital. Such an approach makes it possible to predict complexes with promising spectral-luminescent properties, including catalytic precursors of early transition metals.
