Abstract

Emission kinetic spectroscopy of [Rh(2,2′-bipyridine)2Cl2](PF6) and [Rh(1,10-phenanthroline)2Cl2](PF6) was studied in crystalline form up to 536 K. A dramatic shift of the emission peak from 14 600 cm-1 to 12 800 cm-1 and an increase in the full width at half-maximum of the whole spectrum from 2850 cm-1 to 5450 cm-1 were observed for [Rh(2,2′-bipyridine)2Cl2](PF6) with increasing temperature from 77 to 536 K. The unusual spectral change with temperature can be interpreted in terms of a two 3(d - d) emitting states model. The Franck-Condon energies for the 3(d - d) emissions are determined to be about 3700 cm-1 for the excited state of 3(d - d)1 and 6400 cm-1 for the excited state of 3(d - d)2. The non-radiative transition of 3(d - d)1 occurs via the following successive processes: 3(d - d)13(d - d)2→ground state. The well-displaced potential curve of 3(d - d)2 lowers the activation energy of the non-radiative process above 350 K.
