Picosecond time-resolved infrared spectroscopic investigation of excited state dynamics in a PtII diimine chromophore.
This is the first report describing the use of picosecond time-resolved infrared (TRIR) spectroscopy to probe a d8 metal chromophore, Pt(4,4'-(CO2Et)(2)-2,2'-bpy)Cl2: monitoring changes in the v(CO) vibrations allows for an assignment of the lowest excited state to an MLCT with an 8.7 ps lifetime.
