(abstract)

Photoinduced metal-to-ligand (or ligand-to-metal) charge-transfer (CT) states in metal complexes have been extensively studied toward the development of luminescent materials. However, previous studies have mainly focused on CT transitions between d- and π-orbitals. Herein, we report the first demonstration of CT emission from 4f to orbitals using a trivalent europium (Eu(III)) complex, supported by both experimental and theoretical analyses. The Eu(III) complex exhibits an eight-coordination structure, comprising three anionic nitrates and two neutral electron-donating ligands containing a carbazole unit. The diffuse reflectance spectrum of the complex displays an absorption band at 440 nm and time-resolved emission analyses reveal a characteristic emission band at 550 nm. Comparative studies employing a Gd(III) complex, alongside quantum chemical analyses, confirm that the observed absorption and emission bands are associated with CT transitions between π and 4f orbitals. The observation of CT emission based on the 4f orbital offers novel insights into the field of molecular luminescence science and technology.
