Abstract

The combination of π‐donating amido with π‐accepting pyridine coordination units in a tridentate chelate ligand causes a strong nephelauxetic effect in a homoleptic Cr III complex, which shifts its luminescence to the NIR‐II spectral range. Previously explored Cr III polypyridine complexes typically emit between 727 and 778 nm (in the red to NIR‐I spectral region), and ligand design strategies have so far concentrated on optimizing the ligand field strength. The present work takes a fundamentally different approach and focusses on increasing metal–ligand bond covalence to shift the ruby‐like 2 E emission of Cr III to 1067 nm at 77 K.

Figure 4 (a) Cyclic voltammogram of 1 mM [Cr(dpc)2](PF6) in acetonitrile with 0.1 M ( n Bu4N)(PF6) as supporting electrolyte, recorded at a scan rate of 100 mV s−1. (The Fc+/0 potential corresponds to 0.63 V vs. NHE). [34] (b) UV/Vis absorption spectrum of [Cr(dpc)2](PF6) in acetonitrile at 20 °C (black trace). The red trace shows the long‐wavelength part of this spectrum on a magnified ϵ‐scale (right y‐axis, recorded on a more concentrated solution, see inset). The vertical black and red bars mark the energies of DFT‐calculated vertical transitions, the heights of these bars reflect relative oscillator strengths. The heights of the vertical red bars were multiplied by a factor of 10 relative to the vertical black bars. (c) Luminescence spectrum of [Cr(dpc)2](PF6) in acetonitrile at 77 K, obtained after excitation at 450 nm.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
