AI Article Synopsis
- - Bent uranyl complexes formed with chloride and 1,10-phenanthroline ligands influence their crystal structures and absorption/emission properties, as shown through various spectroscopic techniques and quantum-chemical calculations.
- - The study utilized spin-orbit time-dependent density functional theory to analyze the behavior of bare uranyl complexes and their components, including simulations of their emission spectra.
- - Findings suggest that the bending of uranyl in these complexes leads to excitations in the uranyl bending mode, resulting in a more complex and denser luminescence spectrum during photoluminescence experiments.
Article Abstract
Bent uranyl complexes can be formed with chloride ligands and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands bound to the equatorial and axial planes of the uranyl(VI) moiety, as revealed by the crystal structures, IR and Raman spectroscopy, and quantum-chemical calculations. With the goal of probing the influence of chloride and phenanthroline coordination enforcing the bending on the absorption and emission spectra of this complex, spin-orbit time-dependent density functional theory calculations for the bare uranyl complexes as well as for the free UOCl subunit and the UOCl(phen) complex were performed. The emission spectra have been fully simulated by ab initio methods and compared to experimental photoluminescence spectra, recorded for the first time for UOCl(phen). Notably, the bending of uranyl in UOCl and UOCl(phen) triggers excitations of the uranyl bending mode, yielding a denser luminescence spectrum.
