Abstract
Phosphine ligands determine the excited state properties of a variety of coordination compounds. Phosphines not only influence metal-centered excited states, but participate directly in charge transfer transitions owing to their electron donating and accepting ability. Moreover, intraligand excited states are accessible if the phosphine carries suitable substituents. This diversity is illustrated ...
Abstract
Phosphine ligands determine the excited state properties of a variety of coordination compounds. Phosphines not only influence metal-centered excited states, but participate directly in charge transfer transitions owing to their electron donating and accepting ability. Moreover, intraligand excited states are accessible if the phosphine carries suitable substituents. This diversity is illustrated by selected examples. The excited state behavior is discussed on the basis of spectral (absorption and emission) and photochemical properties of appropriate phosphine complexes. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
