AbstractThe triplet metal to ligand charge transfer (3MLCT) luminescence of ruthenium (II) polypyridyl complexes offers attractive imaging properties, specifically towards the development of sensitive and structure-specific DNA probes. However, rapidly-deactivating dark state formation may compete with 3MLCT luminescence depending on different DNA structures. In this work, by combining femtosecond and nanosecond pump-probe spectroscopy, the 3MLCT relaxation dynamics of [Ru(phen)2(dppz)]2+ (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, dppz = dipyridophenazine) in two iconic G-quadruplexes has been scrutinized. The binding modes of stacking of dppz ligand on the terminal G-quartet fully and partially are clearly identified based on the biexponential decay dynamics of the 3MLCT luminescence at 620 nm. Interestingly, the inhibited dark state channel in ds-DNA is open in G-quadruplex, featuring an ultrafast picosecond depopulation process from 3MLCT to a dark state. The dark state formation rates are found to be sensitive to the content of water molecules in local G-quadruplex structures, indicating different patterns of bound water. The unique excited state dynamics of [Ru(phen)2(dppz)]2+ in G-quadruplex is deciphered, providing mechanistic basis for the rational design of photoactive ruthenium metal complexes in biological applications.

Transient absorption spectroscopy is used to show that stabilization of the 3MLCT excited state in a series of Ru(ii) complexes leads to decreased population of the 3LF state, but does not reduce the efficiency of photoinduced nitrile dissociation.

Abstract A system of polyvalent impurity centers in a semiconductor (i.e. Au-centers in Si) is con-sidered. The ground state of the impurity pair Au-(a) + Au° (b), where an extra electron is localized on the site a, may be turned into an excited state due to a change of the charge state of a third nearby impurity site. This happens because of different shifts of the Au--level at sites a and b due to their different distances from the third center. As a result, the original pair is able to reach a new ground state Au° (a) + Au- (b) through a slow spontaneous tunnel transition. The probability of this transition, when it is accompanied by an emission of a low energy photon, is calculated explicitly.
