To explore the dynamics of metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited states involving covalently bonded dimetal units, a series of quadruply bonded dimolybdenum (Mo2) complexes, namely, [Mo2]-ph, [Mo2]-naph, and [Mo2]-anth, were synthesized and characterized. Our investigations reveal a non-radiative process associated with the deactivation of the MLCT state into a low-lying dimetal-centered triplet state (3Mo2-δδ*), resulting in the populated MLCT states in these molecular systems exhibiting either extremely weak emission or being non-emissive. The influence of ligand variation on the dynamics of MLCT states was examined using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, with deactivation time constants determined to be 1.9 ps for [Mo2]-ph, 6.5 ps for [Mo2]-naph, and 49 ps for [Mo2]-anth. This electron transfer behaviour follows an inverse energy-gap law, contrary to the general guideline that applies to the decay of the MLCT state back to the electronic ground state. This result offers valuable insights into understanding the photochemical and photophysical properties of covalently bonded dimetal complexes.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
