Probing the influence of ion-pairing on ligand-field excited-state dynamics.

ABSTRACT: Exploration of the photophysical and photochemical properties of transition metal complexes has driven ground-breaking advancements in solar energy conversion technologies, including photoredox catalysis. While significant research has been devoted to understanding excited state properties of second- and third-row transition metal complexes, earth-abundant first-row metal complexes have received comparatively little attention in this context until very recently. In particular, the role of ion-pairing - which has been identified as a potentially significant factor for Ir(iii)-based photosensitizers - has not been examined with regard to its influence on the ligand-field excited states that dominate much of first-row photophysics. A key challenge in studying ion-pair interactions lies in qua
