Light-driven chemical transformations provide a compelling approach to understanding
chemical reactivity with the potential to use this understanding to advance solar energy and …

Nanostructured dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are promising photovoltaic devices
because of their low cost and transparency. Ruthenium polypyridine complexes have long …

There is a long-standing interest in iron (II) complexes that emit from metal-to-ligand charge
transfer (MLCT) excited states, analogous to ruthenium (II) polypyridines. The 3d6 electrons …

Herein, we present KiMoPack, an analysis tool for the ki netic mo deling of transient
spectroscopic data. KiMoPack enables a state-of-the-art analysis routine including data …

Examples of Fe complexes with long-lived (≥ 1 ns) charge-transfer states are limited to
pseudo-octahedral geometries with strong σ-donor chelates. Alternative strategies based on …

The non-equilibrium dynamics of electrons and nuclei govern the function of photoactive
materials. Disentangling these dynamics remains a critical goal for understanding …

Ruthenium (II) polypyridine complexes are among the most popular sensitizers in
photocatalysis, but they face some severe limitations concerning accessible excited-state …

The ultrafast dynamical response of solute–solvent interactions plays a key role in transition
metal complexes, where charge transfer states are ubiquitous. Nonetheless, there exist very …

Excited state dynamics of three iron (II) carbene complexes that serve as prototype Earth-
abundant photosensitizers were investigated by ultrafast optical spectroscopy. Significant …

One major challenge of future sustainable photochemistry is to replace precious and rare
transition metals in applications such as energy conversion or electroluminescence by earth …
