Broadband Femtosecond Fluorescence Spectroscopy of [Ru(bpy)₃]²⁺

Abstract

It's sizzling! Femtosecond fluorescence-upconversion studies of aqueous [Ru(bpy)3]2+ show a short-lived vibrationally hot emission of the singlet metal-to-ligand charge-transfer state, with an ultrafast intersystem crossing (≈10 fs) to the triplet state at constant energy (the colors indicate the luminescence intensity).
