Metallic coordinantion compounds containing lanthanides have attained enormous interest due to their single-molecular-magnet and unique luminescent properties. They may serve for applications in quantum computers, high density data storage or OLEDs.
We employed femtosecond time-resolved transient UV/Vis- and photofragmentation spectroscopy to elucidate the excited states dynamics and luminescent behavior of three trinuclear [Ln(III)Mn(II)2-L] [1] complexes containing Dy(III), Eu(III) or Lu(III); L=ligand.
After electronic excitation at 360 nm in solution we observe for all three derivatives the formation of the excited S1⋆ state within the experimental response time (< 150 fs) and a subsequent relaxation to the electronic ground state within 10 – 11 ps. The kinetic analysis yielded three kinetic components of τ1 = 0.4 ps, τ2 = 1.7 – 2.1 ps, τ3 = 10 – 11 ps that are tentatively assigned to stimulated emission and non-radiative decays of the S1⋆ state (τ1) and non-radiative decays of an intra-ligand-charge-transfer state (τ2) and a triplet ligand state (τ3). Our photofragmentation experiments revealed also three kinetic components on the same timescale for the Eu(III) derivate.
