The team from Queen Mary University, Cal Tech, Harvard, the Czech Academy of Sciences, and Ultra's Igor Sazanovich and Mike Towrie investigated the excitation-wavelength-dependent photophysics of d8d8 Di-isocyanide complexes in iridium and rhenium.
The research found these specific complexes of iridium/rhenium are excited into different states depending on whether UV or visible light is used to excite them. These insights into the fundamentals of optical excitation will enable further research into how these different excited states dissipate, and the factors that depends on.
