Abstract

Abstract : This article details the improvements in the photosensitising ability of bimetallic N -carbazole complexes when compared to their mononuclear counterparts. Abstract : Novel mono- and di-nuclear Ru(ii ) and Ir(iii ) complexes, bearing a modified carbazole moiety are synthesised. In comparison to their mononuclear analogues, the homonuclear diatomic complexes (RuCRu and IrCIr), in which the carbazole containing-ligand functions as a bridge, display increased absorbance in the visible region, and give rise to higher singlet oxygen quantum yields.
