Sterically Encumbered Aryl Isocyanides Extend Excited-State Lifetimes and Improve the Photocatalytic Performance of Three-Coordinate Copper(I) β-Diketiminate Charge-Transfer Chromophores

Copper(I) complexes are prominent candidates to replace noble metal-based photosensitizers. We recently introduced a three-coordinate design for copper(I) charge-transfer chromophores that pair β-diketiminate ligands with aryl isocyanides. The excited-state lifetime in these compounds can be extended using a bichromophoric “triplet reservoir” strategy, which comes at the expense of a decrease in excited-state energy and reducing power. In this work, we introduce a complementary, sterically driven strategy for increasing the excited-state lifetimes of these photosensitizers, which gives a higher-energy, more strongly reducing charge-transfer triplet state than does the bichromophore approach. The compounds presented (Cu1–Cu4) have the general formula Cu(CyNacNac Me )(CN-Ar), where CyNacNac Me is a cyclohexyl-substituted β-diketiminate and CN-Ar is an aryl isocyanide with a variable steric profile. Their structural features and electrochemical and photophysical properties are described. The complexes with sterically encumbered 2,6-diisopropylphenyl or m-terphenyl isocyanide ligands (Cu2–Cu4) exhibit prolonged excited-state lifetimes relative to those of the parent 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide compound Cu1. Specifically, one of the m-terphenyl isocyanide compounds, Cu3, displays an excited-state lifetime of 276 ns, approximately 30 times longer than that of Cu1 (9.3 ns). The photoluminescence quantum yield of Cu3 (0.09) also increases by two orders of magnitude compared to that of Cu1 (0.0008). Furthermore, the strong excited-state reducing power (*E ox = –2.4 V vs Fc +/0 ) and long lifetime of Cu3 lead to higher yields in photoredox and photocatalytic isomerization reactions, which include dehalogenation and/or hydrodgenation of benzophenone substrates, C–O bond activation of a lignin model substrate, and photocatalytic E/Z isomerization of stilbene.

A theoretical study of the excited states of Ag3

Recently there was considerable interest in the properties and reactivities of small metal clusters. However, for the transition metal trimers, gas phase spectroscopy exists only for Cu3. Calculations are reported for the excited states of the Ag3 molecule. The excitation energies, geometries, derived harmonic frequencies, and transition moments are presented. The electronic structure of these states is very similar to the analogous states of Cu3. From the VCI wave functions transition moments were calculated between each of the Rydberg excited states and the ground state for an equilateral triangle geometry with R sub Ag-Ag = 5.3 a sub 0. One state was computed for the configuration 4d29 5sa sup prime 2 sub 1 5se sup prime 1 sub x 5se sup prime 1 sub y. This configuration was considered since the corresponding configuration for Cu3 is low-lying. Calculations were carried out for a quartet wavefunction in which the 4d hole was localized on the central Ag atom. The spectrum for Ag3 is expected to be simpler than for Cu3 since the 5s2 4d9 states are shifted to higher energy.
