Femtosecond absorption spectroscopy of transition metal charge-transfer complexes.

چکیده
Our research is concerned with the application of femtosecond time-resolved absorption techniques to the study of the photophysics of transition metal complexes. The focus is to understand the events that characterize the process of excited-state evolution from the time a photon is absorbed by a molecule to the formation of the lowest-energy excited state of the system. This Account describes our initial observations in this area and includes examples detailing these dynamics as they occur in the charge-transfer excited states of transition-metal polypyridyl chromophores.

Oxidation-state-specific dynamics at the Fe M2,3-edge are measured on the sub-100 fs time scale using tabletop high-harmonic extreme ultraviolet spectroscopy. Transient absorption spectroscopy of α-Fe2O3 thin films after 400 nm excitation reveals distinct changes in the shape and position of the 3p → valence absorption peak at ∼57 eV due to a ligand-to-metal charge transfer from O to Fe.
