Title: Exploring the Light-induced Dynamics in Solvated Metallogrid Complexes with Femtosecond Pulses Across the Electromagnetic Spectrum

Abstract

Oligonuclear complexes of d4-d7 transition metal ion centers that undergo spin-switching have long been developed for their practical role in molecular electronics. Recently, they also have appeared as promising photochemical reactants demonstrating improved stability. However, the lack of knowledge about their photophysical properties in the solution phase compared to their mononuclear congeners is currently hampering their inclusion into advanced light-driven reactions. In the present study, the ultrafast photoinduced dynamics in a solvated [2x2] iron(II) metallogrid complex are characterized by combining transient optical, infrared absorption and X-ray emission spectroscopic measurements on the femtosecond timescale. The analysis is supported by DFT calculations. The photocycle can be described in terms of intra-site transitions, where the FeII in the low-spin (LS) state are independently photoexcited. The Franck-Condon state decays via the formation of a vibrationally-hot high-spin (HS) state that displays coherent behavior within a few picoseconds and thermalizes within tens of picosecond to yield a metastable HS state living for several hundreds of nanoseconds. Additionally, systematic comparison with the closely related mononuclear complex [Fe(terpy)2]2+ reveals that nuclearity has a profound impact on the photoinduced dynamics. Finally, this work provides guidelines for expanding the integration of oligonuclear complexes into new photoconversion schemes that may bemore » triggered by ultrafast spin-switching.« less
