Abstract

We studied spin-forbidden transitions of metal polypyridyl sensitizers by two-component relativistic time-dependent density functional theory with the spin-orbit interaction based on Tamm-Dancoff approximation. The singlet-to-triplet transition, which is assigned to a metal-to-ligand charge-transfer type excitation, appears for a phosphine-coordinated Ru(II), DX1. Absorption spectra of the modified DX1 molecules, whose Ru is replaced with Fe and Os, were also calculated for examining the effects of metals on the spin-orbit interaction.
