Photochemistry of Complexes with Earth-abundant Metals
Event details
Photochemistry of Complexes with Earth-abundant Metals
Prof. Dr. Katja Heinze
Department of Chemistry, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany
I will discuss recent developments and future directions of research on photoactive coordination compounds made from non-precious, earth-abundant elements instead of conventionally used noble metals. I will focus on well-characterized complexes with excited state lifetimes ranging from sub-picoseconds to milliseconds in solution. The nature of the excited states comprise spin-flip and charge transfer states. Their dynamics are probed by time-resolved spectroscopy. Emerging applications cover sensing, luminescence, photocatalysis and upconversion.[1-4]
