(Ru(bpy) 3 ) 2+ * and other remarkable metal-to- ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited states*
TL;DR: In this paper, the metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited state, (Ru(bpy) 3 ) 2+ *, was shown to undergo electron transfer quenching by methylviologen dication (MV 2+ ), inspiring a new approach to artificial photosynthesis based on molecules, molecular-level phenomena, and a "modular approach".
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure–Property Relationships in Phosphonate-Derivatized, RuII Polypyridyl Dyes on Metal Oxide Surfaces in an Aqueous Environment
Kenneth Hanson,M. Kyle Brennaman,Akitaka Ito,Hanlin Luo,Wenjing Song,Kelsey A. Parker,Rudresh Ghosh,Michael R. Norris,Christopher R. K. Glasson,Javier C. Concepcion,Rene Lopez,Thomas J. Meyer +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the photophysical and electrochemical properties of a series of six phosphonate-derivatized [Ru(bpy)3]2+ complexes in aqueous solution and bound to ZrO2 and TiO2 surfaces were reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Golden Rule. Application for fun and profit in electron transfer, energy transfer, and excited-state decay
Akitaka Ito,Thomas J. Meyer +1 more
TL;DR: Time-dependent perturbation theory and application of the Golden Rule have been shown to be quantitatively applicable to electron transfer in the inverted region, energy transfer, and excited-state decay based on spectroscopic measurements on dπ(6) polypyridyl complexes of Ru(II), Os(II, and Re(I).
Journal ArticleDOI
Blue-green iridium(III) emitter and comprehensive photophysical elucidation of heteroleptic cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes
Kassio P. S. Zanoni,Bruna K. Kariyazaki,Akitaka Ito,Akitaka Ito,M. Kyle Brennaman,Thomas J. Meyer,Neyde Yukie Murakami Iha +6 more
TL;DR: The thermal sensitivity of the photophysical properties of this excited state points to a possible application as a temperature sensor in addition to its more known use in light-emitting devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
